I think that the white hair coming in is a good sign. It may change to darker after a while. Most people with just a few spots go into remission at some point.

I started off with 9 patches, then I started with really pale thin hairs growing back through, that have nearly all turned brown now!xx

Thanks Tracey this gives me a lift, I don't think about it until one of the uncooperative hairs falls out on my study notes or ends up going up my nose or into my eye then I'm reminded of it, I'm hopping it jus goes an never returns I'm only short of heading the church an washin me head in the holy water :-D

I ended up going a bit loopy and checking my hair loss, so if I run my hands through my hair I lose strands, but that is normal, alopecia or not, so some of those hairs on your study notes could very well be hair that is naturally at the end of it's growth cycle. xx

Hey there

I too had 3 baldy patches over a year ago and since then they have completely regrown, but my alopecia still remains, i have patches all over my body including the beard and the worst is that my eyebrows completely vanished. I do see some white hairs growing at the eyebrow and some dark ones, not many like 4-5 at each side. Hopefully we will experience a complete remission and never have to be afraid of the Big A again.

I truely hope so! i have hopes now since the white hairs started poping out around the last few days after i had my 1st injection at the eyebrows nine days ago, i am scheduled for another injection tommorow and the doc said id see the results after the 3rd shot but my hopes run high since its been only a week and iam seeing hairs, doesnt matter to me if they are white its hair and after being eyebrowless for almost a year its inspiring!

Hey thanks all for the replys I've since had my hair on my head regrow I think it may have been because of a stressful time I was going through my beard is slower to return but I am hopeful it will return I had to stop thinking about it and ignore it because i feel it was stressful in it's self ,
I hope everything works out for everyone and thanks again for the support :-)
