Hair loss

Posted by lgreg @lgreg, 18 hours ago

I started Cimzia a few months ago and now my hair is falling out by the handful. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to slow the hair loss down?

I would also like to know if anyone has remedies for hair loss. The one natural remedy I found online is rosemary.

And how to make your own

I am going to give it a try.

I started losing my hair after Methotextrate injections for Relapsing Polychronditis. Taking Folic Acid helped getting my hair to grow back. Researching what each prescription depletes has been helpful to me. Checking with a pharmacist has also been helpful. Good luck. Maybe a blood test where they check your iron and B12 may help.

@imar thank you for info. I am also on methotrexate and already take folic acid. but Cimzia really caused extreme hair loss. I’ll check with rheumatologist, thanks again
