Tofacitinib Results after 9 Months
Hi All,
Here are my results after 9 months.
Notice, virtually no results until about 5 months
Note that I kept buzzing my head the entire time, hence no growth in length, just filling in.

Hi Nicole! Your results are very encouraging. Thank you for sharing. I have had
AU/AT for ten years and am kind of over it. I would now call myself AT because I have eyelashes and some body hair most of the time, and currently a partial eyebrow. My hair seems to want to grow back but I think it could use some help! How exciting to be able access the medication at such a low price. I live in Canada and I think Canadian customs will not allow me to import medication (does anyone else have experience with this?). So I plan to have delivered to the US (I live near the border) and then bring it with me across the border. I will have to be fairly sneaky about this... Can you post a picture of what the medication actually looks like (out of the package)? I may have to disguise it as a different medication. If you are not comfortable supporting my smuggling plan, that's ok too - lol!

Hey sorry for delayed response!
yes I’ve heard others had trouble bringing it into Canada but US has been good from beacon.
I fully support your smuggle plan and will send you a pic of the packaging.
In one of these threads Carlie posted a pic of the actual product as well.
I just google searched around for labs that do drug testing and found one in Cali. And they tested it for me against the name brand. Kevin In France had a lab tested as well and appears that it’s the real deal but it is a slightly diluted dose compared to the Pfizer.
Side effects wise I’ve got a slight upper respiratory infection right now. I’ve got two kids in school cold and flu season so it’s kind a par for the course so I’m just taking care of myself lots of vitamin C. Xo

How’s it going Nicole? I am still trying to decide whether to pursue the generic Xeljanz. Aside from hair growth, what other benefits have you seen since using the medication? Along with alopecia I have some pretty serious fatigue, dry eye and various aches and pains - general malaise. I love to think that I could get some hair back AND feel a little better over all :)

HI Vanessa!
I didn't have any other symptoms and I dont feel any different on xeljanz other than grateful and happy to have hair and eyebrows!
Are you drinking enough water? :)
-

Oh! I thought I read somewhere that you were seeing resolution of other problems since starting the medication. Maybe was someone else? But thanks for the quick response. I don’t actually drink enough water!

I have successfully imported medication from USA into canada (biohair x) and I know family members who have also (go travelling into USA, and need a prescription filled while you're there) without trouble
be cautious with border hijinks.

Hi Vanessa,
After much thought and research as well as input from Nicole I decided to order from Beacon in Bangladesh to Toronto, ON but unfortunately my order was seized by Canadian Customs CBSA. This was 2-3 months ago. I have had similar ideas as you to order it to someone in USA and bring it back to Canada. Unfortunately I dont live near the border and my relative lives about 9-10 hours away so it would quite the hassle to go through all that. I wish you the best of luck. Any questions feel free to ask or send a PM.

I am also excited to hear that, aside from growing your hair, the medication has made you feel better. I have concerns about potential side effects of course, but I have put up with this condition for years now, and I believe that whatever autoimmune process is going on is impacting me beyond hair loss. I have tried every nutritional/supplementation/lifestyle change under the sun.
Can I ask how you had the medication tested? Was this done at a compounding pharmacy? Thanks again!
