Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 My 13 yo daughter has started to lose her hair in clumps and has noticeable bald spots on her head. Obviously she isn't happy with this. Her rheumy's advice is to wear a scarf or a wig. Sigh. She is on weekly injections of Humira as well as MTX. Her daily meds are folic acid, Lodine, and 5 mg Prednisone. I am toying with either taking her off MTX completely for awhile, or decreasing her dose of MTX for awhile and seeing how she does. We don't see the doctor again for about 3 weeks and I don't want her to continue losing her hair. What have you all done when you have encountered such problems? Thank you for your help.
