Hi everyone,

I am new to this site by membership, but not by reading posts. Since Sept 2015 i have suffered (like all of you) from Alopecia Areata. Mine was aggressive, about 50% hair loss in 4 months. 

I am currently on methotrexate which has somewhat decreased the abnormal shedding, but i am still loosing hair and my hair is thinner by the day.

I have spoken to my Derm. about Xeljanz and have an apt with her next week hoping she is deciding to allow me to try this. I pray she does. I understand this may not be the solution for everyone, and that I may not respond, but man do I hope it is....

Thank you everyone for sharing your experience and allowing me to be able to follow your posts.
