I have suffered for 20 years with Alopecia Areata just with my eyelashes. They would fall out in sections, then gradually grow back only to fall out again. I use to get cortisone shots every six weeks for about five years, which worked but I worried about bone loss. I have now started using Lumigan (glaucoma medicine with a side effect of growing hair) through my dermatologist. It has been a miracle. My eyelashes have all grown back, longer and thicker than ever. I have been using Lumigan since December and within three months you would never know I had AA. I found the information on a site by Lori Klein, dermatologist in LA. I understand clinical studies are underway now for Lumigan and AA. Hopefully this will be a major breakthrough for all AA suffers. Best wishes to all .

Hi Sandy, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.
HI, Just wanted to let know, I have a friend who used the same medicine. She had alopeica universalis, like me. The medicine worked great for her eyelashes , they didn't work for me. I am very happy for you!
