Oh my goodness, Victoria, how discreet of these people. I would be mad too. I know of a young female doctor with alopecia. . She gets the same worthy advice.
I also read about this woman who lost the bottom parts of her legs as a child. She wears different styles of prosthetics. When people find out they say things like: You're so lucky. You can choose to be tall.
How lucky indeed.
I'm wondering if you have read The Diet Doctor. If you haven't I offer you at least, this account of a young mother with lupus. You just never know. Diet Doctor is often my first reference if I am looking for sound advice, Terrific doctors here. Good luck.
