My dr just changed me from methotrexate to arava. Im worried about all the side effects I read. Is the hair loss like it says? I didnt lose any on methotrexate.
I had major hair loss with MTX I'm newly on Lefuunimide and I did actually start Biotin gummy vitamins and I'm no longer noticing the hair loss!
I did not lose hair on methotrexate but did lose it on Arava, Especially around my face hair line and I always had very thick hair so the rest is just really thin now, but coming back. Been on arava for a year and 1 month, hair got so thin I couldn't do a pony tail and I use to do just 2 wraps of a elastic holder, I can do pony tail now but takes 4 wraps
My hair is thinning out bad and I'm going to tell my doctor I want off this medication. I'm on @Humira, I hope I can only take that. But, medication has to go for me. I'm on lefluomide
I have been on Arava for over a year. The hair loss is minor. When I was taking methotrexate the hair loss was very bad and the mouth sores were unbearable as medicines didn't really help. Also I had mouth sores come back years after stopping methotrexate.
I'm still trying to find something to help my hair come back as just changed from Biotin pills to hair products. Has anyone used Viviscal shampoo?
