Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Hi - I swear my hair is getting thinner every week......... I'm a Hairdresser so it's pretty easy for me to make it look ok. I get highlights , that also gives it a lil' body. The only drug I have been on is Prednisone. Aug 8th I'm going for a baseline eye test then will take Plaquenil. Does this not help? Is the hair loss a symptom of the Lupus ya think? maybe so............Lynzster hair--help? while we're on the subject....my hair is thinning a lot...falling out....i cant tell if the plaquenil is meant to help stop that symptom too, or if it more APLS related and blood thinnners would help. As always, if anyone know these specifics, let me know..ill ask my Dr but i think the brain trust here is valuable.(I also fight cutting my long blonde hair...i got one of those electric rolling brushes and it saved my arm a lot so i can still blow it out nice most days. )hair today, gone tomorrow, leslie"The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"
