Rita thanks for that info.  I have taken my 4th dose of doxycycline tonight and so far no tummy probs.  However  I will be defiinately going to the health food shop tomorrow to get a probiotic as we are going to be on this drug for several months so we do need to be extra careful.

Debs, I have been on Doxycycline, taking it at dinner and have taken a good strong probiotic @ bed as I was told at health food store to keep those 2 apart . Anyway, no stomach problems.

Ann thanks for that info... I will try it too.  thanks ladies with reassurance that the dents do fill in after injections... if the doxycyline doesn't work I may have to try the steriod injections as a last resort.   I am going to use a probiotic whilst on the doxycline to after reading all your advice.  thanks v much.

Looked at dream hair blending site and it says its out of stock until after November 15th! It does look amazing in the claims it makes.

I can`t see how it would attach to cover the sides and front hairline though, as it appears to be a system which uses your existing hair, to pull through a net to add the new hair piece.

Just followed a link on this site to Dream Hair Blending Enhancements website. Sounds too good to be true! If anyone wants to take a look, it would be interesting to know what others make of it. X

Hello.   Just reading comments concerning fish oil.  I'm trying to follow the autoimmune protocol by Dr. Furhman.  Also joined his member center and asked advice regarding FFA.   One of the doctors responded advising fish oil due to PPAR agonist properties - similar to diabetic drugs.   don't understand the science, but thought it was worth a try.  When I asked how much,  the answer I got was 2,000-3,000 mg of EPA - to try it for 3 months to see if it makes a difference.  If not, to discontinue.  

I had to stop taking hydroxychloroquine because I was getting frequent migraines.  Been off about 3.5 weeks and still getting migraines.  Saw my GP yesterday and we agreed it wasn't the hydroxychloroquine so I will see if I can get back on it and give that a try.

Hi Debs, I, too, had injections 2 times 2 years apart.  Both times my head dented and both times it has returned to normal.  Also, be careful with the doxycycline as it can be hard on your stomach.  Make sure to take it with food, and you might want to consider taking a probiotic at the same time because along with the bad bactieria, it also kills the good bacteria in your stomach.  I had a lot of stomach aches with it and found it somewhat hard to take.  That's why I switched to minocycline which worked just as well for me as doxy, but seemed to be easier on my stomach.  However, I have digestive issues as well so maybe it was just me. :-)

Hi Ladies, saw my derm yesterday.  Been taking plaquenil twice a day for 8 months.  Hair loss has slowed to about half what it was before but still active.  Derm has now added doxycline twice a day in addition to the plaquenil.  I go back in 6 months. 

Steriod injections:  discussed using them, I asked questions about the dents they can cause.  Derm said dents caused if injections not done properly.  I asked if they go away with time.... answer is NO, dents are permenant... I have decided not to risk further disfigurement to my scalp.

Have a good weekend.
