I've been dealing with the exact same thing. :frown:
Here's my medicinal history....
I started taking Pentasa, Humira and Azathioprine together in July. I also was in the process of tapering off Prednisone until about September.
My doctor allowed me to go off of Pentasa in October, at which point, I've continued on Azathioprine and Humira. Around November, my brother commented that he thought my hair was really thinning. I have always had incredibly thick hair and hadn't noticed until he told me. Sure enough, I was really thinning out. I told my doctor in December about my hair loss and he said it could be a delayed reaction to my hospitalization (caused by a flare) in June. Well, it's been 2 months since I've seen my doctor and the hair has thinned more, so I don't think it's a delayed reaction to the hospitalization. I should add that in early December I also started Rogaine, Propecia and Nioxin and I started taking Biotin in January.
My December blood work revealed that I had incredibly low Vitamin D levels but I'm not sure I had a full metabolic panel run at the time to indicate whether I was low in any other vitamins.
I'm starting to really get worried as the front of my scalp is visibly balding and this has all started directly from the time I started medicating for Crohn's Disease. I know I'm a guy and some people think it's easier for us to bald, but I am really struggling with this and don't want to lose my hair.
My wife just bought me some folic acid supplements today and I'll try taking Folic Acid alongside Biotin now. My doctor said that because my symptoms have completely disappeared and I seemed to be doing well, he'd recommend letting me go off of azathioprine or humira soon. From reading all of these blogs, it's hard to tell from people if Aza or Humira is the real cause of all of this hair loss. I'm tempted to go off of Humira and stick to Aza because Humira is generally more of a pain to deal with, but I'm not sure if it's the root of my hair loss. Any suggestions/comments/ideas?
Thanks for all of your support.
