Have you experienced body hair loss with RA treatments?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Marshall, IN

I am an active swimmer and recently noticed the loss of hair on my arms and legs. I am wondering if this might be linked to swimming in a chlorinated pool, RA, or RA treatments and if others have similar experiences?

Thank you Marie,
I am not clearing asking my question. The hair loss I am discussing is on my arms and legs and not my head. Has anyone else experienced this type of hair loss?

Doubt it's the pool. Myself and other long time sufferers of RA have experienced hair loss. Mostly likely due to the meds. Perhaps try a shampoo without sulphates.
