I consulted a dermatologist because I was losing hair. They did a biopsy and said I had inflammation if the scalp and alopecia. The first medication was topical and I had an immediate reaction. It raised my blood sugar. Now I have a pill which I take twice a day and I have an abnormal reaction to it. It makes me feel sleepy. In talking to the doctor and the pharmacist this is not listed as a side effect, but I have it. I am struggling with it but taking it. I will have to take for about three months before we know if the inflammation is improving.
