Female Hair Loss and Indifference

As the title to this blog indicates, I have recently been diagnosed with Male Pattern Baldness.  For those of you with medical degrees its called Androgenic Alopecia.  Basically, my hair will thin further and further until I am nearly bald.  The nurse in the dermatologist office said "Oh you probably won't go completely bald."  Well, gee, thanks so much for nothing, darling.

This blog is going to be about my trek down the alopecia trail.  In just a short month's time, I have realized that when it comes to losing your hair, the medical community really doesn't give a crap about us.  It's all about the men. 

I've also realized that the treatments are almost as bad as losing the hair to begin with.

I recall the doctor talking to my mother about chemotherapy.  "Well, either the cure will kill you or the cancer will kill you.  But we know for sure the cancer will kill you so you better take the treatments." 

I'm angry.  I've sad.   I'm not sure what I am going to do.

But being the type A that I am, I guess I want others to listen to me. 

This blog will also be for people who want to talk about their own issues.  I hope my problems might help others.
