RE: Hair loss...???

[Guest guest]

I’ve been on Methotrexate

for over 2 years now, and my hair is the thinnest ever, I use to have so much

hair I didn’t know what to do with it, now it’s manageable, maybe

even a little too thin, but I do still have it, I am not on Remicade.

Has anyone experience hair loss

with Remicade? I am thinking it is from the increased Methotrexate

(up to .09CC from .05cc) over the last 3 weeks since Methotrexate is a

chemo med. So now must I choose between feeling better and being

bald?

My hair has gotten thinner with the Remicade, but it was

really the MTX that made the major changes in the thickness of my hair.

However, I have not gone bald-- and I'm a month short of a year on the

Remicade.

It is a toss-up. We either feel better with the meds, and find some hats

that look ok on " moon-shaped " faces, (thank god that afros are out)

or we'd have to refer to ourself as " basketball heads " . I think

I'll go for getting the disease under some control-- and pull out the baseball

caps.
