I was diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis around Thanksgiving of 09 while I was 6 or 7 months pregnant with my 3rd child. The last picture taken of me was November 6th and I had a full head of hair; the same hair I'd had my whole life. By the 2nd week of December I had lost all of my hair, body hair, eyelashes, and most of my eyebrows. It has been extremely hard for me to cope with this because I have never had problems of any kind up until now and my doctor is telling me that AU usually develops when you are a child or a teenager and also that it is very rare and chances of regrowth are very slim. I have been told that this is not pregnancy related and pretty much there is no clear explanation why this happened to me. I am so confused and have so many questions. This all happened so rapidly and my doctors really aren't helping- in fact my prenatal doctor knows nothing about this condition and just switched me to a different doctor at 8 months pregnant... :( I feel frustrated, confused, alone, and slightly bitter about the whole thing!!! Anyone else that has had a similar experience or just some advice; anything would be helpful. Thank you so much!!!
