My sister's perspective

My sister has been alopecia universalis for five years. We have had different experiences in terms of alopecia. She has given up hope on the idea of her hair growing back. Injections did not work for her and they worked for me. She couldn't try prednisone because of her diabetes. I tried it, but it was not successful in arresting the hair fallout. I find it interesting that she has given up hope and doesn't see the cause as the same in both of us. She says it is her white blood cells. I call it inflammation because I can see redness sometimes and feel heat. But, white blood cells are behind the inflammation. For me, it is just a matter of getting that under control and then the hair will grow back. She has regrowth on occasion in small areas that usually falls out. She tried a poison ivy treatment that didn't nothing more than irritate her scalp and grow peach fuzz. There are lots of products on the market that she hasn't tried, yet she claims she has tried everything. Interesting how people have different perspectives.
