More spots...can I keep hope alive?

I like having hair. I've had it for 33 years. Mine is falling out daily, but I'm taking measures to correct my body's rejection of the hair. However, it is easy to lose hope when more bald patches show up daily. This morning I noticed that areas of my scalp were red. That indicates inflammation. Either the aloe vera isn't calming the inflammation or it just isn't calming it enough yet. At any rate, I can see how easy it is to get discouraged. I still have 2 more months before I should even start seeing results from the Chinese herbs. That seems like forever IF they work for me. I think the website said there was a 60% chance of regrowth. That is pretty high, but with my luck I could easily be in the 40% that does not regrow their hair.
