This weekend I had 2 really bad experiences. One was where I was in a restaurant sitting beside a table where a lady & her husband was sitting. The moment she saw me she started joking with her husband that I am wearing a wig & its funny. :(. I had to change the table coz I wasnt in mood to fight back but, I did give an angry look at her whenever she tried to stare at me.
Another was when I was standing outside & 2 women started speaking loudly with each other & laughing and saying "hey is she wearing a wig or what?? Go & ask her!!!" That idiot lady was actually coming towards me to ask this!!!!!!!!!!! Before she got the chance to come near me to ask or maybe stare more, I moved away from there. :(....I HATE SUCH RUDE PEOPLE!

HI Hilary,
I also want to punch them, but I stop myself coz they can do worse to make me embarass like pulling my wig in front of all those people or something. It will make me cry like anything.
Hi Priya

Firstly I want to tell you your name is beautiful.. We've named my daughter Priya, we live in Australia, I'm Engligh/Australian and my husband is English/Indian, his family is from Goa originally. We went to India for our honeymoond, it's an amazing contrasting place.
I do hope you find the strength to deal with uneducated people. If I use the word alopecia over here, people just look lost as they have no idea what it is. I can still comb my hair and hide my spot at the moment, sometimes I forget and people just look shocked.

Take care
Tracey
