Did your hair ever grow back years and years after having lost it all?

There was a time well over a decade ago when even though my health insurance had covered prosthetic hair pieces, I started growing baby hair and I it got long enough so that I could go out in public without anything to cover up my head. This new hair all fell out again and I was wondering if I might still have the possibility of growing back any hair without taking prescription drugs to make it grow back. When this new hair grew back it had been around 12 years since I lost all of it. I wondered if anyone else here had a similar thing happen and was also curious if it could grow back after even more years than just 12. I'm also wondering if anyone has taken herbal remedies that made their eye brows and eye lashes grow back even though it may have not helped their hair. I don't do this anymore since I have to watch my money.

Have you tried using the Alopecia UK facebook page. I do think that is the place where most conversation goes on
