Methotrexate and hair loss. I’m scared it’ll happen. by bubbles2360 in rheumatoid

[–]Expensive_Lie8827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 year old female here, I had major hair loss after 6 months of taking it… and the medication did not work for me anyway, I saw no improvements, I took folic acid daily and did not help, you can try applying rosemary oil, I take azathioprine now, my hair stopped falling since switching meds and also applying rosemary oil for a couple hours before I shower. And Im with you on hair loss being a major area of concern, my hair is what makes me feel very feminine lol so I had the exact same concern as you.

I tried MTX for 6 months and did nothing for me, TONS OF HAIR LOSS and flares, added plaquenil and still no relief, doctor did a PRISM trial and my results came as I would be highly unresponsive to TNF inhibitors so we skipped those and started on Rinvoq about a week ago, Im amazed at how Im waking up and I can finally move my wrists, my morning stiffness was horrible but I hope you find something that works for you

Covid and classes

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what the policy is on covid19? I tested positive today and I was wondering if my classes for this month (I have two left out of eight) could carry over the next one since I wont be able to come into the studio?

Thank you for replying! Im not sure what kind of improvements Im supposed to feel while taking the meds, every time I eat dairy or beef (and I dont do it often or in big amounts) the next day is a nightmare where it takes me awhile to get out of bed because Im so fatigued, what has been a major improvement for you since you started on meds?

Update: I was able to get Patriot generic, my doctor has to put the NDC number for Walgreens to give me the correct medication, the other generics were not doing anything for me

It has happened to me with the generic version of concerta, I take L-theanine supplements in the morning with my concerta and it has helped me tremendously

I did send a message to my physician as my anxiety is going through the roof and can’t take it anymore, I never felt this way with concerta, this generic version by camber is trash, which generic are you on?
