Porcupine!

By AmyAria Monday, February 15, 2010

Good news and bad news.  Good news is my hair is starting to grow back.  I've been off of mtx and areva for some time now and have entered the world of biologics.  Helloooo Enbrel!  So yeah, hair is filling back in....only thing is I now look like a porcupine.  Just thought I'd throw this out there cuz I doubt this is something that would show up in any general info RA books.  So at least for me the medium length hair that remained is now punctuated all over  with additional 2 inch lengths that refuse to lay down.  I'm not complaining though....ok I am a little bit.  Just SHEEZ!!

I think you'd look good with it all cut short and spiky (psychedelic colours optional) - own it, baby!

 

Nice to see you posting again.  Hope Enbrel will work as brilliantly for you as it's done for many others.

Don't think I haven't considered it! I'm not the "patiently growing out the bangs" kind of gal! Tell ya what though, if/when I completely lose it and end up going that route, I'll be sure to share pictures.

Excellent!

     I know exactly where you are coming from!  I just took my first Enbrel shot on Thursday.  My Rheumy still wants me to continue the Mtx (0.8ml) injections for now.  I hope to stop the Mtx soon!  I have had a lot of issues with Mtx side effects too.

     I hope you get to feeling better and continue posting.  I really enjoy your posts and you make me laugh!  Get well soon and take care of YOU!  Smile
