Did I forget to mention that my hair is STILL falling out 2 months post CTX. I'm down to about 1/3 of the hair that I had. I have to get it cut to short style like the pic I just added. I know it will grow back eventually but in the meantime,,,,,,,
Hi Cindy,
I empathize about the pred pounds. I'm holding steady at about 13 pounds above pre-wegs. Seem to be losing about a pound every three months. You're right, aging isn't for sissies. I learned the hard way not to attribute new aches and pains to aging (I'm 67.), but to check with my doc to find out if the wegs dog has awakened.
Regarding your hair loss: Are you taking folic acid? When my rheumy put me on mtx, she also Rxed 1 mg/day of folic acid to prevent hair loss. Two years in, it seems to be working.
Good luck!!
Pete
