As it is, I’m in a 8 month flare up which I didn’t see coming!
Took me by complete surprise and now shocked at what my
body is doing to me right now, to say the least!
In the hospital, I managed to escape any surgery but was placed back on what I call the “Devil,” Prednisone! Just recently, my new gastro has decreased my dosage from 40mg per day to 20mg per day and literally my hair is falling out in clumps. I have naturally thick hair and loads of it, well I did until now. With the amount of hair that is falling out of my head per day, I don’t know how I have any hair left at all.
I’ve found many articles and posts on this topic where this is apparently quite common while reducing prednisone dosing. But, I am horrified that by the end of the month I may be bald. I’m trying to keep my stress levels down but this just amps it way back up.
I wonder if anyone else out there in Crohn’s land has/have experienced hair loss? Did anything help your hair grow back or stop the advancement?
