Hi all -
First off, I have only recently joined this group, and I'm already blown away by the supportive and caring community here.
I've had AA since a child, and from August - early September, ALL of my hair fell out, so I was quickly promoted to Totalis. My dermatologist is putting me on "Ciclosporine", a heavy duty immunosuppressant that is usually used to treat organ transplant recipients and RA. I've been taking another immunosuppressant since 2010 for colitis, Immuran, but this one is a bit more hard core, and one of the side effects is hairgrowth on face and head.
I'm curious, has anyone ever heard of/tried this? Is there anything I should look out for? I was warned to stay away from antifungal medications, grapefruit juice, and a certain kind of antibiotic.
Thank you!
