Hi Maudy, Yes the methotrexate is worth it...let me know how you make out. I had abdominal surgery in April and didn't take my metho for 5 weeks....boy am I paying for it now! I have about 8 bald spots...4 along the front,1 on top, 1 huge one above my left ear and a couple at the back of my head.... I have a friend who is a Physician assistant and she injects Kenalog into the spots to stimulate them to grow. It usually takes 5-6 weeks after to start seeing the fine hair filling the spots in. I should not have gone so long not having my metho shots, but I was curious to see if I stopped it, if my hair would fall out again...I have done this about 3 times in the last 5 years since it grew back after starting the Metho...you would think I would learn by now that YES it is going to all fall out again if I stop the Metho...now I have months and months ahead of me waiting for these spots to fill in and catch up to the rest of my hair. It sure looks funny when I have these 2 inch bunches sticking out from my long hair..ha ha
good luck and please let me know how you are doing
Kim
