Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 , I took cytoxan for 8 months and it was a terrible time for me. Aside from all the horrid side effects, like losing my hair and being put into menopause (it kills your eggs, something they don't tell you) and having no energy and being sick all the time, it DID NOT help with the PF. And also, I have scleroderma too, and it didn't help with that either. Just my story....but I'm sticking to it. Best of luck to you, and I hope you feel better soon!
