Hi Guys,

I have had AU for about 5 years now and have been on Xeljanz for most of the last 5 years. I am a male in my 20s.

My hair has probably come back about 2/3, but I have plateud and I was mostly growing hair while on 20mg a day, but it would make me feel sick so I am on 10mg a day moslty (recently I have been adding an extra 5mg every few days)

95% of my beard is there, maybe a bit lighter in an area or two

My left eyebrow is about 80% there or so, right eyebrow is about 1/2 or so (I fill them in).

With Litfulo being available now I want to know more about it. Is anyone here on it, and if so, how has your experience been?

My doctor actually gave me a couple months supply already that he had and he is writing my prescription now. 

My fear is getting off of Xeljanz (no washout period) and taking the LItfulo and it not being effective and then my hair growth reverses. That worries me and I want to see if there is any more info on this. I believe the trials had people do washout periods so I am not sure if this data is available, unless someone here was also in this situation. 

Probably not a good idea to take both at the same time, even 5mg a day, but maybe I could tolerate that for some time?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Can you please update us on what ended up happening please!! Feel free to DM me also. Thank you!! I am advised to make the switch from xeljanz to Litfulo as well and I am scared to say the least.
