Hi Everyone. I’m Currently Been On Lethunomide For 4 Months. My Hair Loss Is Shocking And Also Got Bad Eczema On My Face.
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

My rheumatologist is t concerned as the drug is working. My liver levels are very high too. Has anyone else had these side affects as I am thinking of stopping the meds. Because of the side affects. The drug is helping my ankylosing spondylitis which is great but I can’t loose my hair. I work with the public and it’s bad enough with the eczema all over my face. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you🥰

I'm on zejlanz it's supposed to help your hair grow which it is a little been on this medicine for about 4 months as well. While waiting for hair growth I do have to wear hair toppers they come in different lengths they snap right on top of your head with little combs that are attached. You wouldn't even know that is what you have on. That has help me emotionally with my hair for now. My down fall is my body hurts more now then it did before. So while it might be helping hair growth I don't think it's helping my AS and it's giving me acne as well . Never had so much acne as a kid now look at me . Well I'm seeing my rheumatologist Tuesday hopefully she give me good news. Being postive but think she'll be changing my medication again. I wish you the best in this journey that we all are on. I'll keep you updated what my next step will be. Goodnight 😴
