A little about me, I'm 39 yr old female that suffers from progressive

ra, I have a wonderful caring husband, 4 kids an 3 grand kids. I found

out June of 2007 I have RA been on 2 different meds to slow it down now

I'm a new one been on this for nearly a yr in feb, methotrexrate is

what I take an I take folic acid also along with a few vitamins. I

recently found out on my own that hair loss is a side affect to this ra

med, I was told about some affects but nothing about hair loss while on

it. I also wasn't told how long I'm suppose to take this, but if I'm

going to keep loosing my hair I don't want to take it anymore. I go to

the Rheumtoid dr next month going to ask how long I'm suppose to be

taking this an also ask about getting something else that isn't going

to cause hair loss, I know about all the treatments they have for

people with ra but I don't want an IV treatment every month. I'm so

confused on what to do about this right now, the treatment is working

for me but I don't want to wake up some morning an find a clump of hair

on my pillow or when I go to brush my hair I don't want to see a bunch

on my brush, bad enough I had to pull a huge clump from my shower

drain.
