Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 It's probably just rubbing off from the friction of the band, just like you see back sleeping babies w/the bald spot in the back.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Kat, This can happen sometimes especially in the holding areas, but it's not permanent and will grow back.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi Ellen, it is how you discribed. I´m running with my fingers, and every time I do, I loose hair. The brush is full of it very quick. No, in the moment I have no spots, but they fall out. Does it stop some time? Ore is it going on and on and...? greetings to florida :-) Inga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Inga, I also experience alot of hair loss but so far do not have any bald spot. I think it's from a combination of the meds we take as well as the disease. I have heard from others as well that they do have hair loss. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hey there Inga: The hair loss will go in waves. Like you my brush is almost full of dead hair by the day's end. It will get better though. I believe, like other animals, we shed anyway. Medication just makes it more pronounced, that's all. If you ahve access to aloe vera (the real plant or the undiluted drink) it would help a bit. You just need to take it 3 times a week. Aloe Vera, by the way, is also good for a number of other things such as digestion and colon health. It also keeps your skin supple and gives a nice shine to your hair. Take care and be well.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi Inga, I don't know if you saw my post about Folic Acid. I was loosing a lot of hair I think because of the MTX, so the Dr prescribed 5 mg of Folic Acid per day. My hair has since quit falling out and is getting thick again.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I lost a TON of hair during the first six months while on MTX but all of a sudden it just started growing back. Now it's thicker and curlier. The only change I made was switching from pill form to injection form, but my rheumatologist said that even on pills, the hair loss is usually temporary. I don't know if that has been the experience that others have had... I hope so, and I hope that alleviates some of your fears! in Maine Since 4 month I took MTX, dacortin, folic acid, calcium, Ibuprofen, > something for my stomach and since 2 month imurel (Imunsupresivum) > And now, since some weeks I´m loosing my hair.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi i have always had very long and thick hair. i don't remember myself with short hair...but...After i became ill and began taking prednisolon i was with almost no hair on my head( to be correct about 7-8 months after begining ). during these months i was losing a ton of hair, not only my brush but also my hands were full of hair. it was falling down even if i didn't touch it or move. i was sitting on the chair and felt how my hair fell down. i have no words to express how i felt . i had no choice - i had to cut it and it was 0.5sm long. it was obvious that i had hair problems - not only me but another people could see it. of course i visit my RD and dermatologist too, i took some medicin but it didn't work. the RD said that the reason was still's itself and the long list of medication which i took. can you imagine how happy i felt when i saw A growing hair on my head! i was going to the mirror every hour to look at it and i was happy and smiled. losing my hair was a big shock for me and still i feel panik when think of it. now 11 months after my hair is almost ok not as thick as it was but looks good. i haven't taken mtx since now. but my RD gave it to me this week - 10mg weekly. i haven't taken it yet! i am not afraid of but panik of losing my hair again. it hasn't recoverd yet! and.....i don't know. the RD said: no, you are not going to loose your hair! i don't believe that. and reading in this discussion board i understand that mtx gives a serious posibility of losing hair. but whatever will happen the most important thing is we to do what our Rd say. if you lost your hair it would grow again. you'll see!
