I took that and ended up in a wig until I was off it and my hair got long enough to wear up. Sorry to say me hair still isn't back to normal. So now I use a hair topper.
Try essential amino acids. My hair was falling out because I take hydroxyurea. It started growing back in after starting the amino acids. I use Doublewood brand Essential Amino Acids. I hope it helps.
I suggest seeing a dermatologist. Mine recommended 10000 mcg of biotin. I use something for horses that have problems with their hooves.
Is it helping. I take 8000mcg with not much difference
What has helped me is progesterone 180mg daily
With PV? What treatment are you on for your MPN? Losing hair is so hard!
Hi I have JAK2 mutation and take 500 mg of hydroxyurea
It is slow and can not be obvious. One of the side effects of the Tamoxifin (sp?) that I am taking for breast cancer seems to slow down hair growth. So if I come out even, I'm happy. It does seem to help the horses.
I have JAK2 and take 1000mg of HU and it has affected my hair. It grows just as fast as it did but there’s a lot less of it.
What is just driving me nuts are my nails. I’ve never had strong nails no matter what I tried over the years (more milk, gelatin, polishes, etc) but now it’s much worse and I do believe it’s the HU. They crack, split and when I asked hematologist about taking biotin I was advised it might effect lab results.
Since I have had good results, so far, taking HU, I decided I could live with bad nails. Small price. However, injustice started using a topical that uses amino acids in the formula to see if that makes a difference.
I am on a "vacation" from lenolinamide [Revlimid], and currently using just ixazomib [Ninlaro]. My hair didn't go away but became thinner. Had my gal simply cut it short. Recently she said it feels like it is getting thicker again. And as others have mentioned here, my nails are really splitting and tearing. Oh, well, keeping them short, also.
