Had hair, lost ALL hair, got it back, now losing

Hi, I'm Debbie. I'm 40 years old and until 4 years ago had a thick head of hear. Then I got alopecia universalis (lost all hair in 1 week)and had no hair NOWHERE! for about 3 years. The first Dr's I saw when it happened had no answers and didn't even try to do anything, but when I moved to Idaho and talked to a new doctor - he was willing to work at it ... and a whole bunch of steroid shots in the head later and some rounds of oral steroids, I got hair again ... everywhere! (Oh, at least part of the problem was low thyroid and that's been fixed) Finally, last September (2006) I was able to put the wig away since I had about 1/2 inch or so of hair and figured that was better than a wig! Well, now a year later, My hair is thin ans straight and about 3" - BUT now I've got a couple of bald patches and some real significant thinning. I went back to my doc and he gave some injections ... and I'm trying this hairtopia hoping it will work. I don't want to be bald again! So that's my story .... any input on the hairtopia or anything else to try? Maybe a certain shampoo might be better? I'm open to ideas ...

If you have alopecia, you need to follow your doctors instructions. Your hair may grow back but you could also lose all of your hair.
I am completely bald with AU and it hasn't hurt me any. I am a beautiful bald woman. I have a wonderful handsome man (who has beautiful long hair) and three wonderful kids (who have full heads of hair). Bald is beautiful on ladies!
