Dont worry, just freak out

I've been trying not to freak out ever since I started noticing I was losing more hair than I normally do. But I couldn't help but freak out this morning when I saw the handfuls that I lost while washing my hair and the other handful lost when I brushed my hair. I'm afraid I'm going to end up bald!

From the feedback that I received its pretty normal to lose your hair while taking Plaquenil, and several other RA meds. Also the stress of having to deal with a chronic illness can also contribute to hairloss. It was comforting to hear that no one had gone completely bald. Their hair did thin to the point that some had to change their hairstyles so it wouldn't be so noticeable. Guess it's time to buy some volumizing shampoo and conditioner and talk to my doctor about possibly trying folic acid and biotin.
