I am a 27 year old woman who has had AU since 13 years of age. At the moment I have no complaints because I am living a normal life with my loving husband and my two month old baby boy. This was not the case all my life.

To begin my story I start by saying in Trinidad and Tobago there isn't an awareness of this condition known as Alopecia, even among the doctors.

When my hair fell out both my mother and I were scared and didn't know what to do. Within a year we visited…

I have a baby who is almost a month old and it has been an experience. The most amazing and unexpected thing is that being pregnant with him actually kick started the growth of hair on my body! Its not exactly all over but growth is taking place. I think it is because of the hormone changes that took place in my body that made it happen. I'm happy about the changes and hope it continues and just a message to all the women out there with alopecia, don't try this unless you really want to.
