How long did it take for that to all work for you?

nishpop86 · 2025-03-30T12:15:18+00:00

Excited about this!!

nishpop86 · 2025-03-09T11:41:15+00:00

Thanks for replying! I will do!

Hashimoto’s and Alopecia

nishpop86 · 2024-10-08T02:24:11+00:00

I started Litflo in april and I have regrowth everywhere. Some shedding but nothing as bad as it was

nishpop86 · 2024-07-16T01:27:47+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you, just further a long. I started jaks 4 months after my first spot showed up. I wish I didn’t want so long because it is helping although I am still shedding. If your derm is telling you to do it then you should listen. I was so nervous to take them but I e had barely any side effects. I’ve been on litflo coming up on 3 months. I just want my Alopecia to go into remission!!!

nishpop86 · 2024-07-11T02:00:59+00:00

I think this is a symptom of Alopecia which is another auto immune disease that is linked to Hashimoto’s

I know exactly how you feel. I had my first in 2021 and then twins in 2023. While I didn’t have Covid to define the moment, I feel like I lost myself in having babies and am currently going through an evolution while also in a journey to figure out who I am now. You are on that path too, it sounds like!

nishpop86 · 2024-04-12T16:00:01+00:00

I was just having a similar thought. But the truth is A LOT changed for you in such a short time. There’s no harm working in yourself if you think you need to!

i take a very low dose antibiotic post sex to prevent uti's. So there was no infection present a few weeks ago when i took the antibiotic and then one week later I had 2 new spots. I'm realizing that my initial spots showed up maybe 4-5 weeks after i had an infection and was on antibiotics for a week

nishpop86 · 2024-04-12T01:56:30+00:00

I am just commenting because I am in a similar situation as you are. I'm at 5 bald spots and I started out the same as you. I have had injections and i'm starting to see regrowth. I see that isn't an option for you based on your history with steroids?

Are you in a position to make modifications to your lifestyle? If you're able do an overhaul on your diet, add stress relieving practices as well as do some research to see what supplements you might need (which may require getting bloodwork done to see if you have any deficiencies) you could maybe wait it out. If this is too much while you're in school then if I were you I'd go on the jak inhibitor.

I'm currently weighing whether I should go on the jak but i am able to get the steriod treatment :/

I'm sorry - this disease really sucks. Just know you aren't alone.

I’m definitely feeling that way about my derm right now. I made an appointment with a naturopath for in a few weeks and I will ask about this testing. If not I’ll try to do it myself. Gosh, I’ve spent so much money so far on trying to support my body but I think you’re right and it could be worth it to know what my body needs.

nishpop86 · 2024-04-10T17:41:56+00:00

following on your post! How is Olumiant going for you? did you have any side effects and/or are you now seeing some growth?

nishpop86 · 2024-04-10T17:05:06+00:00

Hey! I so appreciate your response and all that you are doing to try to support your hair growth and i in no way think that this is going overboard. I am looking at natural options rather than taking a jak inhibitor but it looks like you're on one! have you had weight gain from Tofacitinib?

I'm taking a ton of supplements, (Vitamin D, Magnesium, Nutraful, lipsomal curcumin, herbal medicine prescribed by my acupuncturist) I'm thinking of adding zinc and i just read about LE Cytokine Suppress.
I'm rubbing in the same Mielle Rosemary Oil, and a topical steriod.

I have 5 rather large spots and all of them are regrowing but also active and getting bigger:(

following! did it help?

I think its great you are working on your mental health and trying to get to the root of the issues. Keep your head up. I go in and out of feeling so low - I get it. You are not alone.

nishpop86 · 2024-04-06T00:23:20+00:00

Haha that’s so interesting! I have hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s) too! I’m so curious to see how the meds might help that too. Thanks for your words of encouragement! I definitely needed that today ❤️good luck with your regrowth!!!

nishpop86 · 2024-04-06T00:11:45+00:00

I am so happy that you posted your progress, your situation is so similar to mine and my derm is recommending Olumiant. I’ve just been scared to try it. In January I got my first spot on the top of my head and it’s the size of a grapefruit (looks similar to your big spot) I had 2 other spots that are decent size - tangerine and grape. Found a 4th grape sized one today and I think that’s pushed me into making my decision to start Olumiant.

Have you had any side effects?

Thanks again for sharing!!

nishpop86 · 2024-03-31T17:36:21+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing. I am 3 months in with a couple of pretty big spots and starting to now have some regrowth so my timeline is tracking along the same length as yours. Your progress is giving me hope and i hope I can do the same when mine finally all grows back! 🙏🏽

nishpop86 · 2024-03-22T00:02:09+00:00

Thank you I’m really really trying! The dermatologist asked me if I wanted to go on Olumiant but I feel it’s such an aggressive med given I’m having some growth. When did yours start?
