Thin hair after alopecia

Hey Friends,
I was diagnosed with AA a year ago. After the steroid shots and creams, I currently have no spots (yippee!). I have, however, noticed the hair on the entire left side of my head getting thinner and thinner. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Hi, I've had alopecia for 8 years now, and unfortunately, it's a seemingly incurable disease. I lost my 95% of my hair in the first attack, but I've been able to maintain a nice 85% of hair since then, which is unnoticeable to anyone but myself. This is probably just another attack (no worries though! It may not lead to anything that drastic). I would recommend going back and getting some more cortisone injections, possibly using Rogaine and continue doing exercise and eating healthy.
Hopefully it won't be another attack and you can maintain a nice head of hair. Good luck, keep us updated
