Not really obgyn related but HAIRLOSS vent

[nikimazur]

So thanks to melasamine, my hair has stopping growing completely and is severely thinning.. I went from needing a cut every 6 weeks, and thick Italian hair haha to hair that has grown under an inch. My doctor has said that besides melasamine, being malnourished can also lead to hair problems.

Next week I will be staring an immunosuppressant, not sure which one, but know that they too can contribute to hair loss

I hate being vain..but has anyone else had hair issues? Any suggestions on how to cope? I mean it's bad enough dealing with crohns but really..my hair haha it's just another stressor ugh

Since starting Humira - my hair falls out by the handful.
I used to wear it very short and get it cut every three weeks.
Now - I haven't had it cut in over six months and I wear it longer just in case I might need a comb-over down the line.

I have experienced hair thinning since using pentasa.. I'm on 3000mg daily.. I'm shedding everywhere.. its really embarrassing...wondering how much hair will be left after this lol. Is there anything you can take to help stop the effects? Guess not hey :-(
