Dealing with Severe Hair Loss Due to Methotrexate for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hello! I am new here, so I am learning how this works. I take methotrexate for my rheumatoid arthritis and it has been causing severe hair loss. My rheumatologist has me taking folic acid to help this, but it's done nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to slow this down some? I am trying to remember that it is just hair, but it is devastating, as I have lost half the volume of my hair. Any advice/tips are welcome! Thank you💜

Hi! I also take methotrexate and avsola for my psoriatic arthritis, and am experiencing hair loss. My docs said I could take oral or topical mindoxil, the oral having the effect of more general body hair which I would enjoy. I think I’ll take the oral mindoxil route and update in a few months
