Hair grew back - figured I'd share
Before I go into detail I just wanted to be sure I'm placing this in the right section and that anyone is actually reading this. Let me know and I'll share what happened and what I did to grow it back. Thought it might help some of you!.

Of course people would like to know what you did. Though I'm convinced it doesn't matter what you do. It'll either come back or it won't. No rhyme or reason to it unfortunately.

Balayam is free and most effective technique to regrow hairs. When I crossed 40 Yrs. Of age, like many, I also started loosing hairs due to male pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) which runs in my family. Untill 45 yrs of age, I was quite complacent about my hairloss, I did not bother much but then I started Balayam or nail rubbing. And today at the age 51, I have recovered most of my hairs even my temples are filling. It has been amazing experience. If you want to know about it, see it on my website www.balayam.com Its absolutely free. I am not here to sell anything but to help all.

Ha well good to see people are active. And one of you mentioned it will either grow back or it won't - I understand what you mean but you'll understand why I kind of object to that statement. Anyway, started in early 2012 in my face. I noticed the 2 standard quarter sized bald spots in my beard on both sides of chin. That suddenly blew up to 5 spots that size so I had to shave smooth several times a day since my hair is so dark. So I was getting the steroid injections in my face for a long time. It did help but it sort of went back and forth. The prednisone made it fully grow back but once I was off it, it all fell out again. Anyway, I stopped caring and figured I would just shave a lot. Then suddenly one evening about 6 months later I noticed 2 rather large bald spots on the back of my head. I ran out and got all the supplements I could find that would "help". Within a few weeks it was 1/4 my head. Now I know many of you have way worse loss so I don't mean to sound like mine was the worst, but it was certainly not a good thing. Luckily for me, I had this feeling this might eventually happen due to the beard so I was growing my hair out for 6 months and was able to conceal it mostly.
So on to the journey...I first went straight to my doctors to see what's going on that this is spreading. Endocronologist says I have hypo thyroidism but not high enough to be treated yet. (Never took medication yet for it). Rheumatologist said I had a very high ANA level but they couldn't pinpoint anything. No medication, but went on Plaquenil after I first start seeing some growth later in the story, but soon went off of it. I still recommend it though since it is supposed to equalize your immune system. Anyway, I then immediately started getting injections in my head. I went to 4 different doctors letting them each do it. Of course it is not fun either way, but I experienced several types of injections. I had one dr do the standard pain threshold, normal style/needle size injections. My next alopecia "specialist" insisted that you need a thicker needle and 50x the shots the other dr was doing. This was the most painful thing I experienced throughout all of this. One spot was the size of my palm and realistically 60 shots with thick needles. Insane pain, no gain. Went back to my old guy and did it for 8 months with no growth. I then started acupuncture. They used the 7 star hammer pretty violently in terms of pain/bleeding. I don't know if this helped BUT this was around the same time I saw my new dr and was suddenly experiencing growth. So my new doctor took a different approach than the other 2 doctors in terms of injections. He said what they were doing was incorrect (who knows?). Instead he took an extremely fine needle to the same palm sized area, and only did 6 injections. He said he went way deeper and injected way more steroid in each shot. WAYYYYY less pain first off considering I had several large patches. Anyway, after that first round with him was the first time I woke up feeling some growth on EVERY spot aside from my beard within a couple days. I continued with this and halted the acupuncture (too raw to do both) and within 2 months it was completely filling in everywhere. I really think the kind of injections had something to do with it based on where I saw the hair growing compared to the injection site. We did this for a couple more months until everything was completely back.
It has been a year now and no reoccurance since. The beard is sporadic and comes and goes. This is why I say I kind of object to people saying it either grows back or it doesnt. I put some serious work into my head and ignored the beard. ....One went away, one remains.
Now I realize I'm going completely out of order but I just wanted to list the supplements I took since day 1 since it didn't really change:
-Colostrum
-Liquid Zinc (gross)
-Iron
-Biotin
-Liquid Multivitamin
-Liquid B12
-Flaxseed Oil
-Fish Oil
-Vitamin D
-Vitamin C
-Glutamine (powder)
-Hair growth shampoo (probably did nothing)
-Kombucha Chia Seed Drink x3 a day
I am awful at describing this but I always told myself that if anything grew back I would come on here and share to help others since a lot of times people grow their hair back and don't come back - not very helpful for people still looking for information. I am probably missing chunks of the story but at this point I thought someone may have sort of question that I can answer. I'll also check my list of supplements since I think I am missing some.And finally, again I know people have it much worse and much longer, so I'm not the greatest success story ever but I did spent most of my day everyday researching and at doctors and threw everything I could at it and have mostly positive results in a relatively short time frame. Anyway if anyone had any questions, just trying to help people in a similar situation.

I do believe it's completely different for everyone, i really believe everyone's Alopecia condition is different and although it's the same outcome for everyone (hairloss) what ever the body needs to cure it isn't the same for everyone. I've read lots of stories where all of them treatments and supplements you listed above worked for people and for most it didn't. i really think it's down to each individual, there is always something that will work it might be one thing, it might be a number of things but it's figuring out what your body is in need off for it to regrow hair again.

Agreed - The main reason for this is to just share my experience. I saw many posts about how people said unfortunately most people that regrow hair never come back to share their results. I didn't want to be one of them. Technically I still have the issues since the beard thing still exists, but I still did have success of course.
