It is still falling out and it has been a long time

I guess it has been all summer that my hair has been falling out. I noticed it in May and started taking the Thymuskin, shortly thereafter getting the injections. I didn't start taking aloe vera until sometime in June. I started in on the oral steroids in July, but gave up on them after three weeks. They didn't seem to slow down the hair fallout at all. Last week, I switched from a liquid form of aloe vera to a capsule that is supposed to be more potent. noticed the patches of regrowth last week and decided it was worth it to try the oral prednisone again. However, I haven't noticed a decrease in my hair fallout. I still feel my scalp and notice symptoms of inflammation like heat and redness. I don't know if the aloe in the capsule is stronger or not. I'm assuming it is. It gives me diahrea. I will cut back the dosage in a couple days and that side effect should go away. It isn't bad though. Just some loose watery stools. I think the capsules are stronger because I do have that side effect. On the liquid aloe vera, I didn't experience that side effect. We shall see.
