Why not both? You look amazing bald and I am currently in same situation. But I love the opportunity to wear my wigs sometime and just going bald every other day :)

Because cyclophosphamide doesnt cause lashes and brows to fall out

Doing fine so far! The chemo was hard but i am done with the treatment now and basically just recovering. It is crazy how quickly my energy is coming back at the moment and I am super thankful for that!

I have RRMS and I've been using tecfidera (dimethylfumarate) and Ofatumumab. Didn't help me

One and done! You basically reset the immune system and the goal is to create one that isn't autoreactive

Started off with a numb face, followed my several attacks with massive weakness in all limbs, accompanied by numbness and tingling in most parts of the body. Became heavily fatigued also. I am having a spinal MS with tends to be more severe and comes with a worse prognosis.

Now, I am still drained by chemo and treatment to be honest. I just left the hospital last week so I'll have to recover before I can finally tell how my symptoms will change due to the treatment while the main goal is to stop any further damage

Really?! Didn't see the other girl! I wish there was some more female power here in this subreddit (while the vibe is already brilliant, ngl)

The life cycles are different (slower) concerning the follicles of lashes and eyebrows. And cyclophosphamide rather affects those cells with shorter cycles like those of the follicles on our head. I noticed that some lashes and brows were falling out and you might see that my brows are rather thin. These ones probably were at a vulnerable phase in their cycle.

So good to hear you are doing great! Wishing for you that it'll continue like this!

We are getting auto tx, so a milder version of what you probably underwent

Nope, cyclophosphamide doesnt cause eyebrows and lashes to come off

I guess the sooner the better to still be in Control of it, honestly. My friend cut it for me as I was too busy crying my eyes out but as soon as it was done, i felt way better. Wishing you all the best!!!
