Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Darlene, I had nice hair too:( It started falling out before being diagnosed with anything, and taking no meds. I have been on MTX for awhile, and taking the Folic does help. Since I have added the Plaquenil, now I'm losing my hair again, it's so frustrating. It is hard to accept all the changes with our disease, but we just have to keep our chin up. I will keep you in my prayers, and I'm here if you need to chat, Tawny > Hi there, I haven't posted for a while but am back. I'm curious if > anyone has had hair loss with RA.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Thanks Tawny. I know I need to try and stay positive. It's just do you find when one thing seems to be getting better, you get hit with another. I'm sure everyone has that. It is hard to accept things getting different when you were used to them being good. I had never been sick before RA. I do try to stay occupied with reading and my dog-he's a lifesaver. I'm on disability right now so I'm at home. Thankfully it's summer where I am now although this year I'm finding the warm weather isn't doing me as much good as it seemed to last year. Could be the rain we keep getting though-LOL. How long have you been diagnosed with RA Tawny?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hi Darlene, It is hard to cope with, that is why you can always come here. We can lift your spirits, and try to make it a lot easier. We all go through these emotions. I'm also home on disability, and so I know we have a lot of time to think. Just take one day at a time, and just do the best you can. Take care, Tawny > > > Hi there, I haven't posted for a while but am back. I'm curious > if > > > anyone has had hair loss with RA.
