Please help! Methotrexate Hair Loss at 24..

Hello,

I have been on and off of methotrexate for around 2 years due to changes in bloods and side effects etc.

I came off it a couple of weeks ago due to my bloods and I was at more risk of infection, after getting my bloods done 2 weeks later and all was fine I was back on the methotrexate.

About 3 weeks in my hair has started to come out in mass clumps, I have stopped taking it for around 2 weeks now and it won't stop coming out in clumps to which I have now got bald spots around my head.

I am still taking the folic acid every day and I did during taking the methotrexate except the day of my injection. I have been to the hospital and they have told me methotrexate is out of the question for me now (Thank god!)

I have had the yttrium-90 injection into my knee joint back in November as I am only effected in the one joint, so I am currently on no medication at all because I'm having no discomfort.

My doctor has told me that it could possibly take over a month for the growth to start again and to see a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

I was hoping someone has been through this before or could possibly give me some advice about the hair loss? I am 24 years old and it is really starting to get me down, I am being told not to stress about it but I can't see how I can do that at the minute, I thankfully have thick hair but I don't know for how much longer.

Thanks to anyone who could possibly help me 😃
