Dan is this from experience using black seed oil?

Not necessarily. I'm 3in half months removed and still have Remicade flowing through my system. It might take as long as 6 months to get it completely out but there is no real way of really knowing unless you get a blood test. Everyone is different and metabolizes the drug at different rates...

I just had a Prometheus test done which measures the amount of Remicade in your blood. And it turns out 3 months removed from my last infusion I still have Remicade in my blood! This is frustrating!! I wish there was a way to expedite the removal of the drug, I hate this stuff.

Yes, I think there is some correlation because even the hair on my body stopped growing and changed in texture. My scalp hair thinned as well. I stopped Remicade after 4 infusions because of the extreme fatigue and odd skin symptoms such as rashes, dry skin, and hives.

I've always wondered if there is a coincidence of the imuran at the right dose suppressing the immune system from aging the hair or causing hair loss. I had been on it for years at 25mg and my hair grew like crazy then I got sick and increased the dose to 150mg and slowly down to 50mg and I had...

I feel your pain. I'm actually in the same predicament. I've had crohn's since the 7th grade and it has destroyed my social life and hopes and dreams growing up. I finally got over it in college but my last week before I graduated i ruptured my colon. At any rate I lost my job recently because I...

Oh no 6 months is scary. I couldn't imagine dealing with these symptoms for that long. The frustrating part is I believe it could have all been avoided with proper diagnoses of the iron anemia and continuation of my previous medication. In my experience you really have to be careful what you say...

I'm having a difficult time believing it is coincidental. I was feeling "normal" this summer. As normal as someone with Crohn's can be then when the iron anemia went undedicated she changed my medication to Remicade leading to the the symptoms I described above. I don't exactly trust my GI dr or...

Should I expect the symptoms to go away? It's been about 8-9 weeks since my last infusion but I still have some lingering side effects from the medication.

I just skipped my last Remicade infusion because of awful side effects. Extreme fatigue, dry skin, rashes, vision issues ( I had perfect vision before the infusions), hair loss, thinning hair all over the body and scalp, sensitivity to cold, Hives, itchy skin.... I had my loading dose then...

I'm about to get my second infusion of Remicade tomorrow. Too early to tell but I can tell I have less crohn's symptoms and feel better in that regard than I did on Imuran/Aza. Less bowel movements, less cramping, and pains. I do have bouts of fatigue but I also had that while on Aza. (Oddly...

Jennier and Aussie thank you very much for the replies. Having my hair fallout with no answers has been very stressful and traumatic for me. My doctor truly does not seem to care or be concerned how much stress this is causing me. It has effected my day to day living. It is concerning that...

HELP! Has anyone experienced abnormal hair loss from Azathioprine or Allopurniol or both? In the last couple months my hair started shedding like crazy and it falls out in clumps in the shower or falls out when I touch it. I have gotten numerous blood tests to rule out thyroid issues or vitamin...
