I have had a bald spot on the left side f my head for awhile. It can be covered up. I recently went to a specialist here in my city, and what a crock he turned out to be. He basically turned to me and said I should be more in tune with GOD, which I found wierd and said all he could do with me is to give me cortizne shots. I head they are somewhat helpful, but right now I just cant afford it. I hate that bald spot, and it makes me feel wierd. I think people look at me differently because of it. Sighs.

" I know the feeling!!! to be honest with you when i got my first bald spot i actually had 2 at once. I found out right before my birthday while i was doing my hair at a salon. I didnt know what was wrong with me and wen i showed my mother it was even worse she freaked out. But i got shots they grew back and now i have another bald spot. I didnt flip this time and its easy to see since i have to wear my hair up all the time for work. But people dont really say anything and if they do i explain it. Not to mention i joke about it now helps me cope. "
