Simvistatin,laser: Two treatments that work for resistant cases is the excimer laser used for psoriaisis and vitiligo as well as oral simvistatin a cholesterol lowering drug which works to decrease inflammation and allow regrowth of hair in alopecia areata. The combination can work in resistant cases.

Unfortunate.: Sounds like you have tried it all. Early age of onset and persistence of disease beyond 1 year are both poor prognostic indicators. It may be that your hair does not regrow.
