I have been taking Xelganz for about a year just this month my insurance approved my coverage. It has worked great on hair regrowth all over my face and body (except for male pattern baldness). The issue I have had with this drug is the numerous upper respiratory infections and chronic coughs. I also have many dysplastic nevus on my back and upper abdomen which puts me at higher risk for skin cancers.

My dilemma is I have a two year old beautiful baby girl. I love the way this drug has grown my eyebrows and some lashes back but I fear the risk factor involved with depression of my immune system. Do I give into vanity and take this drug or do I put my long term health above the risk? As of now I have stopped the Xelganz. I have concluded that my daughter needs a father more than I need two two-inch strips of hair above my eyes. I fear losing my brows and will continue my steroid injections for now.

What are your opinions on this subject? Is the drug worth or not worth the risk? I greatly appreciate all of your thoughts.

Xeljans has improved many lives. I am sorry for those who do not respond. I only hope more had the the opportunity to try Jak inhibitors. Dr. Hana can you use the oil to cook with. I am always looking for a healthier wat to deep fry. FYI I stumbled across Zeljanz/Jak inhibitors by accident. I was looking into microbladeing eyebrows. I learned years ago snake oil only improves the life of the snake oil salesman. Sad

I am a Homeopath and MD in alternative therapies . The oils I am mentioning here are Naturopathic oils and can be safely used without any side effects in patients of all ages and both genders.

Wow “DR”, lets take a look at the extensive 1 year online study curriculum for MD in alternative therapies! Ooh spiritual healing? Sounds totally legit.

I find it very hard to believe there is not a law against advertising yourself as an MD with this BS credential.

Dr, Hana tell me what you know about Alopecia. Please clarify your knowledge on all forms from A to A.U and A.T. Here is you moment to impress me!

Well. well. well. Shame on you Hana for trying to pass yourself off as an MD. Only someone who has gone to an accredited med school and passed the licensing can call themselves an MD. And, you can only call yourself a doctor if you have studied for years and have an MD, PhD, DD, DVM, or the like.

Doubt that you are even an ND as you're saying homeopathic rather than naturopathic.

Shame on you for calling yourself a doctor and confusing the unsuspecting.

Hi , I'm not at all ashamed of calling myself a doctor as I have put efforts and eight and a half year to achieve it. Yes I have written Homeopathy because I have done Bachelor in Homeopathy and then post graduation in alternative therapies in which naturopathy was my main subject. I'm practicing since fifteen years and handling Alopecia patients since 11years. And I have suggested not forced my treatment to anyone .
I would also like to tell Frankie that the herbs from which these oils are prepared are all edible and if the taste of that oil is ok for you than you can definitely use it to cook without any side effects. I'm ready to take up any Alopecia areata ,totalis or Universalis patient (who have not abused their scalp skin with intradermal shots , as it leads to complete death of follicles) and are suffering from 7-8 years . I will charge only Medicine and handling charges , no Consultation charges .
Criticism is bound to happen Whether we do anything or not , instead I find it healthy and these doubts help me to grow .

"Dr. Hina" you are disgusting and despicable. An MD is a MEDICAL DOCTOR. You are not an MD. Stop calling yourself an MD. Homeopathy is not a science. Stop preying on these people that have alopecia and giving false hope. You should be banned from this forum

Dr, you kinda turn me on are you on Tender!
Comment by hagster on September 18, 2017 at 9:51am
So, Hana, you did post grad work (masters), but not phd?

Thats what we all have problems with. Sure, you have done some studies, but you are NOT an MD. Yet trying to convince some that you are.

I fully understand the eyebrow thing but living a long life is so much more important. Find a really reputable microblade expert and get some nice eyebrows. That's what I did and I love them! No one can tell and it relieves so much stress and embarrassment. Good luck.
