I've noticed since having RA my hair has gotten so thin. I use to be on methotrexate and I know some meds can cause hair loss.Does anyone experience this? How do I grow it at normal rate it's so slow

Yes! I'm losing my hair by the handful... I'm on hydroxychloroquine. What are you on?

My hair also had become thin. My hair dresser suggested Bondi Boost shampoo. It is expensive but last a long time. It has helped with the thinning

I have always had very thick hair & I still do. I was diagnosed with RA 32 years ago. I take hydroxychloroquine.
