Is there anybody who has tried methotrexate for Alopecia and did all your hair grow back after using it?

I recently went to a new dermatologist cause my other one only gave me steroid creams which did nothing, and she prescribed me methotrexate for my alopecia. I have to have all my blood test results to come back negative before I can start taking it, but I was just wondering if anybody has had complete hair growth using it. I also have pernicious anemia which is an auto-immune in b12 deficiency and Hoshimotos and auto-immune thyroid disorder. I've never had any problems ever and all of a sudden I get not one, but three disease just like that at the age of 21-22. Here is a recent case study on it done in Brazil with 31 patients, 21 of the patients had 79% or more hair regrowth with no relapses and the other 10 had hair growth, but than had relapse after being off the drug. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4155950/?report=classic
