Je trouve le methotrexate très toxique alors combiné les deux j'approuve pas

Exactly.

I think we are in a phase where physician need to try combinations for non responders

C est une bonne nouvelle Kevin.

Bcp de gens meme avec xeljanz ont une repousse extremement lente... cheveux par cheveux. Dans mon cas mes ongles aussi ont eu une tres bonne amelioration assez vite.

If that’s not the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Methotrexate and xeljanz together? 

I guess you will have hair when your family lowers your corpse into the ground.

what kind of irresponsible doctor are you seeing that’s allowing you to do this?

Both can be used to treat uveitis so I don't see the problem.  I was actually thinking about doing the same thing at some point.  But I do have uveitis.  Right now I just opted for treating the alopecia with Xeljanz which oddly enough is keeping my eye inflammation at bay.

Question for you Tricia and Kdh, what type of doctor are you seeing that is the one who is prescribing Xeljanz to you??

My dermatologist at the moment but once it’s approved for ulcerative colitis, my GI will prescribe it

If you dont mind me asking, specifically what disease is your dermatologist giving you Xeljanz for?
