Hi Bill @bilton, I had not heard of Alopecia Areata but used one of my favorite tools to find newer medical or research type information - Google Scholar https://scholar.google.com/ and found one that may provide a little help for you.

@marylcsw and @ajitesh have mentioned Alopecia Areata in a post and may have some suggestions for you.

Are you able to share a little more about what you are using for treatment now?

Thank you for your response, my sister has tried all the standard treatment for now, steroids, prednisone,minoxidil (Rogaine) but has complete hair loss and little response to these treatments. She has been told the best hope are medication that are in clinical trials now, be have no idea when they will be available, but does not know what to do in the mean time.
