Re: Carol G update - Sandy

Hi Sandy!

I am losing quite a bit of hair from the Methotrexate that I'm on. I

have started using Rogaine, but it states that it isn't helpful if

you're losing hair due to medications, and it also takes up to 8

weeks to see any improvement.

Do you do anything for the hair loss? I'm just curious. I started

with really thick hair, so I'm not too worried yet, but it's a

concern for down the road.

Thanks!

Hi ,

I have not tried Rogaine, I've always been a little leary about adding more chemicals to my already overdrugged body. LOL I know that it has worked for others.

I have found it easier just to keep my hair cut very short. I have always had baby fine hair.

I have found that Nioxan shampoo and the scalp conditioner really help if your scalp gets sore.
