Relapse on Xeljanz experiences!
Hello AW :-)I’ve been on Xeljanz for 13 months now (5mg x 2 daily) and have had huge success with it, went from totalis to full regrowth! But sadly 3 weeks ago I discovered a large patch the size of a 50c coin (I’m Australian lol) that tripled in size in the space of a week. Now at the 3 week mark, I’ve noticed rapid shedding reminiscent of when I first started losing my hair 2 years ago (I had a full head of hair and lost it all within 2 months) and I know it’s fairly early but the bald patch…See More

MY DERMATOLOGIST STARTED ME ON PFIZER'S NEW ALOPECIA TREATMENT CALLED LITFULO, HAD DEVASTATING EFFECTS.. MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT ALL OVER AGAIN. OLUMIANT BLOCKS JAK1, JAK2- MY HAIR FELL OUT, LITFULO BLOCKS JAK3- MORE HAIR FELL OUT, XELJANZ BLOCKS JAK1, JAK2, JAK3- THE ONE THAT WORKS BEST FOR ME OF COURSE THIS ONE IS NOT MADE FOR ALOPECIA ILL SAY BUT WORKS. I JUST STARTED A NEW JOB SO I DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE YET. I BOUGHT MEDICATION FROM INDIA SAME MED AS XELJANZ BIUGHT SIX MONTHS FOR $320. NOTHING REALLY JUST A LOT OF STRESS. ANYONE BOUGHT TOFAJAK FROM CIPLA? SINCE I HAVE NEVER USED THIS MANUFACTURE BEFORE AM NERVOUS OF COURSE THAT RTHE CORRECT AMOUNT OF MEDICATION IN IN 5 MG BID IS WHAT I USE AND NEED. SINCE I USED THAT OTHER MED FOR ONE MONTH AM NOT TOTALLY SURE IF ITS BECAUSE OF THIS OR MY NEW INDIAN MED. I BELIEVE THE LITFULO IS THE CAUSE OF MY HORRID SX RETURNING. IVE BEEN ON XELJANZ FOR YEARS WITH GREAT STEADY RESULTS. BREATHE...
