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 youš

Some users have reported that increasing their folic acid intake helped with hair loss caused by methotrexate. However, others have mentioned using products like women's rogaine serum and foam, Vegamour GRO serum, The Ordinary serum for hair density, The Nue Co. Supa_Thick serum, and special shampoo/conditioner for hair growth. Additionally, a hair brush designed for thin hair can help prevent further hair loss while detangling. It's also suggested to consult with your doctor about these concerns.
