I have had my thyroid checked, numerous blood tests. I have been told that it could be linked to sleep apnea. I’ve been tested for lupus. My doctor doesn’t have any answers… I’m just wondering if she could be missing something. I am 33, I first experienced hair loss after the birth of my second daughter in 2002. I’ll get a spot, usually on the right side of my head that starts out about the size of a pencil eraser. They have been as big as an orange! I’m talking smooth baby butt bald! Hair slowly grows back, but another spot will usually appear before the previous one is completely covered by new hair. Right now, I have a spot on the back of my head about the size of a golf ball. I am stressed worrying about my hair falling out. Other than that, I would not say that I am under any more stress than most.
I have been diagnosed with alopecia aereata…I see a dermatologist who injects the affected site with steroids. Does anyone know about the rise and fall of hormone levels? Is this somethinf that changes monthly?
