Will my telogen effluvium ever stop?

I've been suffering from hair loss for the past 3 years. I'm in my late 20's with no family history of hair loss. I have been receiving intramural injections of kenalog every month to stimulate hair growth along with rogaine. There is no identifiable stressor and all labs are normal. They tell me it's telogen effluvium with minor female pattern hair loss. Is there anything else or will I live like this forever. The hair falls out daily and is not even 50% of what it was 3 years ago.
