HI Nat!

Most doctors work to try to reduce your dosage over time, but currently, most people need to stay on it to keep their hair.

I currently have no plans to decrease my dosage.

I personally have no problem taking a daily medication to maintain my bodys autoimmune balance.

You will be in such good hands with Dr. Fil he is amazing and so calming and reassuring!

Hi guys,

Just a wee update from me. I started the Beacon tofacitinib on the 25th of October with zero eyebrows, 50% eyelashes and around 5% head hair. I had a wee cold to start with but I had it slightly before starting, but it went away pretty quickly with some good old TLC. 

My head hair loss progressed rapidly within this time frame but I think it was just hair that was already gone. I have noticed significant difference in my eyebrows. I had literally none and now I have lots of white hairs back. Please see the photo attached. I will take more photos shortly for full progress but this seems like a good start to me!

All the best.

Hi Steve 

did you find a doctor to monitor your blood? I asked a dermatologist whom I previously attended and she replied by saying she was unwilling to supervise as would my GP as the drug is unlicensed  I would’ve too worried to  take it without medical supervision /advise

.... and great to see you’re responding! Good start. There’s a private medical company ( (aspire) I’ll check with and let you know how I get on- look forward to hearing of your progress :-)
