Hi All!
So today's lovely topic is...drum roll please...hair loss! I am on Methotrexate right now, along with Plaquinil (an anti-malarial), and Prednisone (a steroid). Now, Ive had some minor hair loss from the steroids before, but this is on a whole new level. I noticed about a week ago I had clumps on the back of my shirt, and on my pillow. I also found that I was taking out a lot when I brushed my hair. Fortunately for me, I have a lot of hair (the hair dresser always comments on this!), so right now it's probably only noticable to me. But whats frustrating is the texture has changed too, from coarser and thick, to baby fine and thin. The former was a breeze to style, the latter not so much. So I'm asking all you Lupus Gals, what do you do when you notice your hair is changing? Is there a certain product you like, or treatment you get at the salon? Do you wear a wig, or say screw it, and wear it just as it is? Do you have any styling tips for when it thins out? Let me know! This is all so new to me, so any advice is welcomed! I hope you all are having a great week, and that you enjoyed your three day weekend!
I look forward to hearing all of your tips and advice!
Heidi
