    Thank you for sharing your story. You have the best attitude. I have a different type of alopecia and totally get what you had to be feeling. Mine started before yours and is one without a cure but you really can control it if you treat it as soon as it gets active. I have been in Minoxidil for years now and I will never stop it unless there is a medical reason that I have to. What I have is called lichen planopilaris. I take many different medications Spiranolactone that it doesn’t allow the hair growth in other parts of the body from Minoxidil also different vitamins like Kerotin and Nutrafol on a daily basis. I have always had great dermatologist from Universities where they do studies for new treatments therefore I know I am always treated with the latest. I am also blessed with a full head of hair but it takes a lot to keep it that way. I wish you the best and God willing we will remain in remission for good. I love your country. I live in the United States but I have a son that has been living in Manchester for the last 14 years. Good luck and keep us updated on your journey.

    • @WHYDOINEEDTHIS325
      @WHYDOINEEDTHIS325 4 года назад +8

      Quick and brief notes to take into account.
      - alopecia areata is an auto immune disorder.
      - your immune system recognises your hair as a foreign body and attacks your hair
      - as a result your hair falls out
      - generally 4/5 people recover from it within two years
      The notes above very briefly describe what it is and what causes it. The next few points detail everything I've found out about alopecia from research and personal experience.
      - firstly, there is no set cure for this type of disease (auto immune disease).
      - hospital treatments generally don't have the best success rate when solving the problem and the stronger the treatment, the more serious the side effects are. An example would be corticosteroids injections can cause the skin to become really thin and weak.
      - suppression of the immune system is not advised as it is what protects us from harmful diseases and illnesses
      As someone who has had alopecia areata for 13 years, this is what I have found out so far (this isn't set in stone as it is quite a complex issue so consult a medical professional regarding these matters).
      - generally what I have found is that alopecia areata is a symptom of an underlying problem, it isn't the problem itself.
      - as it is your immune system that is attacking your hair, your immune system needs to be put in check.
      - as gut health is a major factor in immune system health and functionality, gut health should be a priority.
      - from what I have found out through research is that if the lining in the intestine is damaged, foreign bodies enter our system which is what causes the sudden hostility (for lack of a better term) towards our own cells.
      - as the food we eat today is heavily processed or abundant in added suger, it has a major impact on our gut health and thus your immune system.
      Personally, as I have tried fixing my diet, getting more exercise and generally trying to live a healthier lifestyle, my hair is in the best state its been in since alopecia took nearly all the hair of my head. Another thing to mention is try eating and drinking food with drinks rich in probiotics. I am by no means an expert on the topic but these are things that I have found through research and experience. Hope this helps and I hope you have a fast recovery.

    I’d rather have what you had than Androgenetic aloepcia 😢 because this can’t be reversed or cured at all. 💔 is it true if you stop minoxidil though that hair will fall back out? I heard you have to be on monoxide for the rest of your life to possibly keep it.

    • @justmemyselfandi7760
      @justmemyselfandi7760 2 года назад

      AGA can't be reversed all that much, but it can be treated. Minoxidil puts it on hold for as long as you keep using it. Once you stop it returns to the baseline (ie. Where it would've been if you never used minoxidil at all). Finastride is also an option if you're male or a female past reproductive age... Comes with crazy side-effects though for some people so it's important you keep communicating with a physician.
      Do check out Rob English's website and research articles. It's not a cure all by any means, but during my alopecia journey it was the only place I could get authentic information from without feeling depressed.

    Hate to burst the bubble, but the growth most likely did not come from the tablets, but the steroid injections. There are many who choose to go this route and do have growth, but in the end decide that it’s not worth it. This is because in order for it to work you must continue getting the shots monthly for the unforeseeable future. (Also, the injections are placed at about every square inch of your head wherever there is loss)
