Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 -......I usually have very thick hair.......and when I was taking the MTX it was comming out in clumps. I stopped washing it every day ad went to once a week (which about grossed me out!)..and I wouldn't even comb or brush it because the brush would overfow with even more hair!! I spent a year without brushing my hair!! I would very gently run my fingers through it..a little at a time (and it was really long)..everyday...comb it with my fingers till it was tangle free. I lost a lot less hair that way. I stopped the methotraxate when I got really sick last winter...and after about 6 weeks the hair stopped falling out. What meds are you on??? About the back pain....I have a lot of back issues with Degenerative Disc Disease and Osteoporosis...so I can't help you there....I am always having back pain....be very gentle with your hair!!! jenna -- In , " ktandtm " <ktandtm@...> wrote: > > Do any of you have hair loss with RA?
