Re: Nioxin

Tricia,

I have used Nioxin in the past when I had hair thinning from quick weight loss

with a gastric bypass as well as recently when I started MTX. Yes, it DOES work.

I used system 1 conditioner... I know the shampoo I used was for chemically

processsed hair... (shhhh! Only my hairdresser was supposed to know!)

Do you have an ULTA nearby? They frequently run specials in store with a shampoo

and conditioner for under $30.

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if any women on here have used Nioxin for hair loss caused only

by the Methotrexate. I was going to get some, but it is expensive, so I wanted

to see if it worked for anyone else before I got it.

Thanks,

Tricia

Hi Tricia - as a former hairstylist (yup, RA took that away, too),

I've

learned that while this OTC stuff for hair loss can produce new

growth

(if the hair follicle isn't dead), once you quit using it, the hair

could fall out again - meaning that you'd have to keep up using it if

you didn't want to lose your hair again. I get gobs of hair in the

shower since taking MTX, but so far I've not noticed any bald spots

and

it is so flipping hot that I don't miss it anyway. Hope this

helps....Doreen

Hi Ladies....

Arava will also cause hair loss. I am taking that and my hair is baby fien

anyway. You should see it now...ugh....so thin. I'm going to look into the

Nioxin conditioner. I have tried vitatress but without any good results.

Thanks for the info.

Hugs..a

Hi,

Thanks for the infomation on hair loss. I will see If we get that

here in Australia, for I have written posts before about how much

hair I have lost!!! I had extremely thick hair to start with, but

now I have only half of what i started with!!

So that is a bit scary. If I had thin hair to start with I don't

think I would have any hair left!!

My Rhematologist tried to tell me it from the predisolone but I

thought it was from the methotrexiate!!!

so many of these medications they put us on have side affects !! !

Somtimes I feel like I am one big experiment !!!

Oh to be pain free would be wonderful!!! Maybe one day they will

get it right for me and everyone out there who are suffering.

Take care

Thanks Doreen & Kami for replying about the Nioxin. I don't have any bald spots,

but I do notice that I have less hair, much like after I had my kids & my hair

fell out. But at least then it grew back. Thanks also for the tip about Ulta.

There is one near my work. I have also seen Nioxin at Costco, but it was still

$20 just for the shampoo.

 

, My Dr told me it was the Methotrexate, but I don't take anything else

for RA.

Hi Tricia!

They weren't sure why my hair was falling out.  I have PCOS syndrome and other

issues on top of the inflammatory arthritis and FMS.  I also have anxiety which

can cause hair to fall out.  I showed Lupus symptoms which can also do it.  I

know Nioxin worked for me and I was losing hair constantly brushfuls for years

and it's not happening anymore.  The owner of the day spa who does my hair has

clients with cancer that used it to help them grow their hair back.  Their on

shops on Ebay that sell it cheaper than the salon.  Also, I have seen it at

Target in their shampoo aisles, Meijers which is a grocery store here, and in

Walmart and Rite Aids as well
