Default Hair loss.

I have a flare up of hair loss in the last few weeks. I think it might be due to the med Leflunomide that I have been taking for about 4 months.
( I forgot to mention it to my doctor, and it has really increased since I saw her.)

Has anyone here had the same problem from any arthritis med ? Or from Leuflunamide?

I think hairless also may happen just as a symptom of the disease itself, perhaps.

I read a study on Leflunomide and hairless, and it stated increased hairless 2 - 6 months, and then it would taper off.

Well, I hope this is true, I certainly hope it will taper off. This medication has really helped for the joint pain, swelling and stiffness.

Does anyone have any comments? Any remedy for hairless?
