Choice of Methatrexate or Pacquenil Both have side effects but the Hair loss seems excessive for me with Methatrexate.

Hi I’ve been on both Plaquenil and Methotrexate since 2009 when I was diagnosed with RA but it’s only in the last year my hair has started falling out so badly that I wear a cap to go out, I now have a receding hair line. Also my teeth have started to fall out or crumble, a lot of people with RA seem to have both of these problems I don’t know if it’s the medications or the RA or both
