67-year-old female with alopecia universalis which began as alopecia areata at age 24. Never needed treatment as it only involved one spot every 5 or 6 years, and the hair always grew back by itself. Then about 7 years ago, a spot formed, then more and more spots, eventually leading to alopecia universalis. After 3 years of universalis and no treatment during those 3 years, the hair is slowly coming back by itself. Very unpredictable disease!

Hi Tawni - thanks for your tears and runny nose - I feel less alone. Any other side effects, other than the hair loss that binds us here? I had fingernail issues. Indentations formed across the middle of my nail.
I am actually in Maryland but my post office is in Delaware. I wanted to ask you about tearing and runny nose due to no hair in these areas. I experience and wonder if you did as well
