Hair loss has been on my mind a lot lately. I started Propidren ( Amazon) a month ago, and have been using Nioxin shampoo and scalp conditioner. It seems like my hair is so much better. But here's the kicker...I stopped Methotrexate for a month. Does anyone know exactly what Methotrexate does for RA? It seemed like not much, but today I'm having a monster flare. I'm also on Humira and Prednisone. Thank you. Have a lovely pain free day.

I have been on Orencia almost 4 years and haven't noticed any real difference in my hair. You may want to try a shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair if it's breaking off. Love and hugs!

I’ve Been On Prednisolone For A Year But Now Down To 1mg A Day. All Symptoms Now Recurring. Is There Any Alternative To This?
