Can I just say that if you have to take steroids, consult a professional medical doctor before doing so, even if that means going to another country to find one.
It's the knock on effects of being bald that cause the main problems I think, more than actually being bald. Self esteem is a crucial element when talking to members of the opposite sex.
Its just a question of educating people. If someone makes a rude comment or sniggers, just look them in the eye and say "aren't you badly off that you have to laugh at someone with a medical condition".
