Has anyone tried distracting this disease with another?

My understanding about alopecia is that the white blood cell attack hair folicles and stop them from growing. What if you used another disease to distract the white blood cells so the hair would grow.Use something the cells would be busy with and we could keep getting the shot.

Very good post, Manman!  I honestly believe this is what may have caused my alopecia areata to become alopecia universalis.  Just my own theory--nothing scientific.  I think it is possible that when the steroids (creams, shots, and, mainly, oral prednisone) were introduced, my very strong immune system fought back vigorously and created ever stronger, treatment-resistant T cells.  Once the steroids were stopped completely, the stronger, treatment-resistant T cells went on a rampage, producing alopecia universalis.  Again, just a theory--nothing scientific, but it appears that the treatment made things worse.  We will never know, however, since the dermatology industry appears clueless about the cause and treatment of this disease.  All they appear to know is that it is a very financially lucrative condition for them.
