Late post MTX 3rd injections and increased dose

[Mrsrkendall]

Well I increased my dose yesterday. Over all I've been a little busy to deal with my side effects tho I've still got them. The lack of appetite and nausea is still the biggest difference. The medicine head I can deal with. But I can't let my anemia and blood sugars get to low so eating is a must. I will say that I'm definitely seeing some thinning of hair. So I made that change that I was talking about on my post last week! This week change was a big hair cut. I've had my signature Bob with slight changes in length now for roughly 7years... But as you'll see in the pic it's alot shorter. I can say on those yucky feeling days it's way easier to fix and, it definitely looks healthier and thicker! Tho it is taking me a bit to get used to I like it. Anywho, I plan on trying some ginger tabs for my nausea.

Like the new style! My hair thinned to start with, and got me a bit worried. But that calmed down after a couple of months and my hair is now no different.

I wasn't overly worried but with whatever my body is dealing with my hair was thinning before the meds. So I would rather be proactive. As to whether or not it stops or continues...it won't matter because my hair cut will help that.

Cute cut Mrsk! I'm having mine restyled tomorrow thanks to LEF robbing a bit more of mine & can't wait. With summer & the anticipated increased glowing coming my hairdresser & I have decided to take it shorter at the back, cut back into my neck more, that should solve the little orphan Annie look, ringlets on a 56 year old isn't the style this year apparently! 😅

Like helixhelix my hair thinned as well. After a few months my hair returned to normal.

Hair looks great!

You might like to try the sea sickness acupressure bands for nausea too. I find they help. Also GinGin ginger sweets are good to suck too.

I absolutely love ginger. And I tried the bands for motion sickness as a teen and when I was pregnant and they didn't seem to do much. But I would gladly try it again.

Really nice haircut.. I can't do that - My hair is too fine, but it looks great on you!

[Mrsrkendall in reply to Hidden]

Actually it just depends on the cut. Mine has thinned significantly this week and I'm think of going a bit shorter.
