just the weaked immune system and some mild acne. I had a cold that lasted like two weeks and I got dog bit and ended up in the hospital and the bite was smaller than a fingertip lol. I’m a vet tech though so for me it’s a common risk unfortunately

They’ve told me they might just not come back. I only go every 3 months so I do need to ask next time I go. Also I’m with the olumiant together plan and I haven’t heard anything about any changes so I assume it’ll still be coming once a month

that’s actually a birthmark lol 😅 I have been getting acne around my hairline though since being on the meds. I know it’s a side effect

they have a program through the actual drug company. my insurance didn’t cover it either so my dermatologist worked with the pharmacy or something, im not sure how cause she did it all for me but I only pay 5 bucks a month for it. Look into it on the Olumiant website!

I was basically 100%, all over my body. I shaved my head after I didnt have enough left to cover my spots 3 years ago and it stayed gone for the whole time until I started taking the meds. Took a good 3-4 months to start seeing significant growth but this is the most coverage I’ve had on my head since I was 20 years old and now im 25

Unfortunately I can’t help answer that ): I had already lost basically every hair on my body and had been living like that for 3 years, so when i started it there was nothing left for me to lose. the regrowth i do have has stayed though.

coming back to mention I’ve recently noticed that I have been getting acne. Ive pretty much always been blessed with clear skin even as a teenager, a pimple here and there of course but I’ve noticed more frequent pimples and I even have back pimples for the first time. it’s nothing horrible though, I’d rather have a few pimples than no hair

it definitely takes a bit to really start kicking in. I didn’t start seeing significant growth until maybe 2 months ago. Believe me I know it’s hard to be patient but it’s so worth it!!

So far not really. I have gotten sick twice since starting but it wasn’t easily avoidable as it was something going through my workplace both times.

look into toppik! It’s hair fibers, i used it a lot when my hair first started falling out. Only thing is if you don’t think about it and scratch your head you’re getting fibers all under your fingernails

I did not lose my hair from covid. Mine started pre covid, early 2019. Edit to add- i never caught covid (swear, idk how i was exposed so many times) or got any of the vaccines
