This may sound stupid, but I have been diagnosed with Alopecia for about 5 months now.  Hair is thinning badly and hair is about the size of my fist missing on right side of my head.  I have been wondering if anyone has tried auto immune supplements that are sold in drug stores?  If this is caused my immune system then could these supplements help?

Im new to this site.. I have been diagnosed with alopecia for 4 months now.  my whole side of my head is bald.  I went thru a very stressful event in my life in November.  Don't know for sure it that what caused it.  My doctor put me on drithrocream.  Didn't do anything,  Now starting yesterday I am on prednisone.  Sounds like it will work while you take it but fall out again.  Has anyone taken it and kept their new hair growth?
