Hello everyone and happy new year to you all. I just want to share something I learned about a few months ago. I had been losing a lot of hair and was becoming a bit concerned about it. I mentioned it to my mom and she told me that her hairdresser had suggested she use a supplement called biotin. I bought some at my local store (their brand) and I have to tell you that I was surprised at how much it has helped. My hair loss has been reduced drastically and I have even had new growth. I hope this will help someone else like it has helped me. Wishing you all the best in this new year.
I have used biotin shampoo you can get at GNC at times during hair loss and it has worked well
It happened to me too. After the diagnosis and after 2 weeks of taking the medication, I noticed how my hair got thinner and fell out so easily. It got me worried so I talked to my rheumatologist. She told me to take Vitamin B. So I went to get Biotin in the softgel form. I've been taking biotin along with my medication for a week and I've noticed some change. Biotin definitely helps to slow down the hair loss. Oh I also try to gently massage my head once a day. Happy New Year to you too! =)
I have hair loss and in addition at times I lose my hair in perfect circular patches. It always grows back but it can be quiet embarrassing. I will try this, thanks!
Thank you! I’ll have to try it because my hair is getting very thin around my temples.
I have been taking biotin since my diagnosis last February. I had several patches that were completely bald. I take 400mg of plaquenil a day and the biotin. My hair has grown back and I’ve noticed it just seems healthier.
Good luck!
My mom told me about it this weekend, it helped her so i bought some.
I take plaquenil but when I started taking methotrexate injections my hair started to fall out. I also have been taking biotin for about 6 months and the hair loss is back to normal for me.
Make it a great 2015!
Thanks Elfin I will have to give that a try and let you know how it worked. :) God Bless Julie
