Argh! I'm really stuck. I've had AA for 3.5 years now and until recently, had been spot-free since Xmas of last year. There is a 3cm on the top side of my scalp and I already went in to receive my requisite injections. Prior to this I had completely changed my diet and upon discovering that I'm anemic I am also Gluten and Dairy Intolerant.

We all know AA is sporadic, right?!! Well...my DH is on the verge of possibly being self-employed. So now we have to figure out the health insurance bit. If I didn't have AA I think it would be pretty straight forward since we are all pretty healthy...but you never know. If anyone out there has any advice, that would be wonderful. We'll be needing to go "extra" frugal for a while....but health insurance is not something I want to mess with. Obviously I don't know what is going to happen to the hair on my head. Will it stay or will it all go at some point? I've been working with a naturopath up until this point.....and well...I don't know if I can see her either. Insurance made me pay up quite a bit as they wouldn't cover all of her services. Although...I think I'm at a point where I can kind of chart myself. I understand the supplements I need....and I can shop online for good prices. I don't think I need acupuncture and I've been exercising more and that has helped a lot.

I have 2 young daughters as well. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!!
