Has anyone else experienced hair loss as a result of RA or treatment? I have always had really thick hair but it’s thinning on the top and as vain as it sounds it’s stressful.

Some people will experience that as a result of the chemotherapy drug methotrexate. Consult with Dr. if you are on it. Daily folate supplement recommended.

Take collagen and biotin every day; It will help.

yes, indeed I am experiencing that. My hair has always been my glory and now it’s falling out daily. Not sure if it’s the Methotrexate or the RA, either way it’s distressing

I noticed my hair feels very rough and damaged. I haven't changed anything since I started taking methotrexate. I take folic acid everyday. I very thick and curly hair. I'm scared I'm going to loss my hair.
