And I'm only taking Enbrel, not even MTX. But my hair literally has not grown in 5-10 years, so I know it's the RA rather than the drugs. It's a silly thing to be concerned about, considering all the other things we endure, but it hurts nonetheless. " Let my freak flag fly " is becoming less of an option now. And will it stop? Or will it just eventually all come out? Sigh... And I have back pain, too, lots of herniated disks. Seems lots of us have that Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
