Arava Or Methotrexate
Does anyone know if Arava may be any better as far as side effects than Methotrexate?
Just wanted to tell you that if you have any questions about the medicines, there is a tab that reads "Treatments" at the top of the page. It appears to list a lot of the drugs & some of the side effects. I personally found a lot of questions were answered there. It give me a lot of new thoughts about some of the drugs. Hopefully it will help you as well. Sending positive vibes for all. (((HUGS)))
I think mine fell out when I didnt consistanly take the 800mg of folic acid aday with methotrexate. It has gotten better as I was more consciences. Also Iām making sure I use only warm water not hot when I wash my hair.
Hair loss for me means watching that I take my thyroid replacement at the same time each day and my folic acid.
Hi all. Been diagnosed 2 years. Been in methotrexate ...yes..i had experienced my hair falling out. I keep up on the folic acid and have not had too much trouble. However I worry about long term side effects with this drug. So I stayed taking curcumin anti inflammatory herb. More vitamin d....c and e and b12. I am getting off the methotrexate. I do take enbrel injection weekly. It seem to help me....especially in the beginning.
