Thanks for making this video, Ive had alopecia areata since i was about 4 years old and still have it at 22, Im not sure what has triggered it in my case either, i have patchy hair loss and whilst ive never had complete hair loss, ive never had complete regrowth either even after trying treatments, im interested in trying out this drug treatment but im going to try other, cheaper, more well known treatments with less side effects first, im trying to deal with hair loss as best as i can by posting videos about hair loss on on my youtube channel feel free to check them out, ive been inspired by my fellow alopecians in this news video, im trying to stay grateful for the hair i still have but it hasnt been easy, one thing that has helped me the most has been joining a support group for people with alopecia on social media specifically Facebook, for anyone else going through this i know how you might feel and my thoughts are with you.
