I have had Alopecia Areata ever since i can remember. I think my mom first noticed bald patched when i was 2 years old. Well they never became big enough for me to really notice until 2011. In 2011, i lost about 50% of my hair and have been getting steriod shots in my head every 4 weeks. Its been a roller coaster really...It would regrow and everything would be good then it would get way worse again. Oct, 2016 i lost about 60% to 70% of my head, i shaved it. By the way,....BEST decision ever made k? Well, its been about one whole month since i have shaved it. I had a few really dark patches growing rapidly in random spots. I was thinking maybe this is where i had my last injections. But other then that nothing...maybe im being impatient but the only hairs i feel or kind of see are extremely thin and nearly invisible. What does this mean ? am i being impatient with my regrowth or is it normal? 

P.S. Im new to this site, say hello :)
