<p>Hi there,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I live in Melbourne Australia. I was prescribed the baracitinib as my case was severe. I had tried metatraxate and others but didn’t work. So was put on this. The public hospital here worked out some deal with a compounding pharmacy so it only cost me 60$ a month for the tablets which is great.</p>

<p>Hi Elizabeth,</p>
<p></p>
<p>thank you for the response. Just wondering did you go through this treatment yourself? And do you know how long it usually takes for true colour. Thank you </p>

<p>Joseph- that’s exactly the first stage of hair regrowth! It comes in white or blonde but it will darken up once it’s a little longer. Congratulations!!</p>

<p>not sure if this thread is active but said I would give it a shot. I am 26 year old male diagnosed with AU about 7 months ago. I tried a few immune suppressant but didn’t work. About 5 weeks ago I was put on baracitinib 3.4mg daily. I’m in about week 5 now and iv noticed small thin blonde hairs growing in the top of my scalp, my eyebrows, chest hair and pubic hair. They are all blonde light hairs that can only really be seen in the light on front of the mirror but I notice them. The thing is that I’m a brown hair person. Should I be worried about it been blonde or is this just a stage of the regrowing?? Any help would greatly be appreciated it’s hard to find many information about this!!!

<p>I’m sorry to hear that you did not have luck either. So strange! I did notice that Baricitinib reduced my allergies as well. I have been taking tofacitinib for a few months now and I am seeing more growth than I ever did in the baricitinib trial. Fingers crossed the tofacitinib works for you!! </p>

<p>I'm in the baricitinib study and seem to have had the exact same results as the other two people who posted in this thread. Im in week 75, started with 2 year old universalis, and have had 20% regrowth of scalp hair and peachfuzz body hair. This regrowth only started at about month 6, and has gotten very slowly thicker. I believe tomorrow will be my final appointment, as my doc said that without 80% regrowth, ill be kicked off the study. </p>

<p>If you don't know, baricitinib is being trialed as a therapeutic for COVID-19. I've felt pretty safe being on it for the course of the pandemic. It has also made my eczema disappear and I believe it has made my seasonal allergies more mild. I'm starting to believe my allergies and eczema have been an 'outsized immune system response' to outside stimulants. Baricitinib reduces this bodily response, which must also be what it's supposed to do for the inflammation attacking out hair follicles. Im sad it wasn't more effective, as it has been very well tolerated. Im on to the tofacitinib study next.</p>
