Yeah and if you’re a young woman, something like that would likely not even be on your radar, so that detail seems pretty damning. It’s unlikely she’s making that up. 

Thank you for this info. I guess that will be my next step though I hate to have to do it. I’m easing into the idea of looking for a place that does this. Though my derm has a list she has no idea when it was last updated or who on it is good. So I’m on my own. 

These products aren’t so much what I’m worried about (the prescriptions are, thankfully, covered), but rather that I have at some point look into wigs and that breaks my heart in pieces. Plus, I want it to look/be real and have someone walk me through the process (I know literally nothing, and need some hand holding),…

Yes it’s one of many thing I do, including: prescription topicals, special shampoos, steroid injections in my head every 3-4 months (by the derm), daily antibiotic, supplements, etc. It’s alopecia, though - there’s no treatment, really, or cure. It’s not like chemo, where the hair comes back eventually.

I have alopecia that I’ve been treating aggressively/medically for some years now. The loss progresses. I now must wear a wide headband at all times to cover the loss (a dopey look I despise), and I’ve only told a handful of people but will need to tell more sometime soonish. I’m devastated. The world of wigs is one…

He is the fucking worst

I don’t get why this isn’t clear. 

He was adorable

Also doesn’t his face/mouth seem to be drooping significantly? 

“His baby girlfriend” - heh

What’s the over/under on whether the government somehow paid for these overpriced manbaby weapons? 

Wow, yes, all of this. 

It’s fascinating (though I guess not surprising) that in a religion where:

No, it’s ridiculous

A lot of celebs use concierge docs when at all possible, and they come to you.
