"Thank you as well :)"
"Hi ! Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it.. I did go back up to 20mg over a month ago once I started noticing the active patches getting worse... do you happen to have any experience with how long it takes for things to resettle?"
"Hi everyone. I'm posting as an update/asking if anyone else is experiencing something similar... In April (2021) my hair was the best it had been for over 3 years and it seemed like xeljanz (20mg/day) was really working for me. I had no active…"
"oh wow! thank you for your response, honestly it made me feel like I wasn't the only one because I haven't heard anyone else mention this yet. Hope yours fill in quick!

"Yeah I am in university and I totally understand. I have heard from a fair amount of peopple from here that they did not stop - or if they did it was for less time. You run the risk of the vaccine being less effective though. If I were to do it…"

"Hi! I have and I saw no improvement.. I also cut out dairy, soy, refined sugar, corn etc very strictly for 2 months and then avoiding mostly for 4 + months. I think it is very dependent person to person though. Hope that helps"
"Hi San,
I have AA and have had ongoing patches for the past 3 years. The majority of patches have been on my head but I have had a couple on my arms. Hope that helps!"
"Hi guys!
I wanted to post an update on my progress with xeljanz and see what you all thought. Just as brief context I started 10 mg/day of xeljanz in April 2020, and have been on 20 mg/day since late August 2020. The 3 patches visible in the…"
