So I saw the post titled "Elbow's anyone?" And thought I'd do an eyebrows anyone?As mine have all but gone missing in action. This post is not off-topic, bare with me. I started losing my eyebrow in a big way when I was dx with an autoimmune disease so suspected it was my body attacking my brows.
Anyone else have slim to no brows bcz of immune issues?
Hi I am sorry to hear that. I haven’t noticed eyebrow loss... I was losing my hair big time and it’s stopped growing anywhere when they upped my MXT from 15mg tablets to 25mg sub cut... I was too upset so went down to 15mg sub cut with new meds. So for me it was medicines driven I think. I photograph any changes and send them to your rheumy to ask to discuss. Maybe they can help. I really hope they can for you. 💕🍀 I hope someone here can help better than me x
Yes mine are barely there now . Started thinning on the outside edge now totally gone there and now so sparse can’t see them have to fill them in . Gonna have something done about them when all these shenanigans are over.
🤗to you x
Might not just stop off at eyebrows 😉new woman on it’s way 😂
Ooooooh ... I’ll go in for that ‘treatment’ straight after you please 🥳🥰
I want full body overhaul hair on head falls out and stopped growing elsewhere.
You paint a lovey picture.. nothing like a hair on your chin...
reminds me of a family party my brother and I were chatting to our cousin and he saw a hair on her chin thought it was a stray hair went to pick it off ... but it was attached 😂😂
😱 ermmmm ☺️ 🤐 I am
Yes . Mine went !!! My hair thinned but came back but eyebrows still thin ! Brow boy is good though
Yes, my hair has been falling out for many a year. I have just about enough to get by unless there's a strong gust of wind lol! Haven't heard of brow boy, is it better than the other stuff out there?
My Hair is awful before I had all this my hair was thinking /balding I went to gp and they said to me was my age and prescribed hrt ostrgen only which I think may have stopped further hair fall but no growth. I’m on methotrexate and since being on that body hair seems pretty none existent I’m just praying my hair doesn’t come
Out more and yes I noticed the other week my eyebrows are much thinner 😩 at least there are tools I can use to cover up x I don’t get my hair wet in a swimming pool on holiday it is that thin and use root concealers and toppik just to feel more confident really xx it’s all such a daily drama 😂😂 and windy days yep a hat must be worn 😂😂
My eyebrows and hair thinned noticeably with mtx . Grown back since I stopped , but the outer third disappeared years before I got diagnosis so I don’t know if it’s RA related. I was told thyroid issues can cause this too , so maybe get it checked ?
Hia, yes it can be related to thyroid, but had it checked in my case it wasn't so. MTX also made mine worse, so stopped that years ago. Am on Enbrel which could be causing it too, in the end I thought I can't stop all meds especially if they work well otherwise, so have to live with it if it is that.
I agree with this it’s not really something we have much choice over and I guess it’s a choice of less hair and living your life or hair and not being able to move xxx still makes y sad tho 😢 but being on here and seeing I am not the only person going through this helps me masssively xx thanks for posting 😊
I would cry 😭 too
I have to say , I actually have very good lashes and brows even though I’ve lost the outside edge of brows. This is mainly because I’ve used one of those products ( tho it’s not nice you’ve bn targeted with ads ) They made the hairs I do have grow longer so it’s easier to disguise the gaps I have. This is not a sponsored ad... promise! X
My eyebrows so far are ok but my hair is really thin at the front so change my parting around and sometimes use toppik hair particles, its like dust which you puff in and covers the bald bits!
There are some awesome eyebrow transfers on ebay, I saw a tik tok where a lady used them and they looked quite realistic, just got to line them up properly.
I like my eyebrows but my elvis side burns however are bonkers, you know the fluffy hair on the side of your face. I dont know whether to shave them off or just leave them .
Hi, yes eyebrows more or less non existent and a very strange shape!
Hi everyoneI have been following this site since August when diagnosed and you all seem so knowledgeable. Did anyone start having reactions to hair dye / brow dye when your R.A. first started?
My RA still isn’t under control yet and just started on Metz this week. I look and feel awful
so hoping for some positive stories where allergic reactions pass.
I was on methotrexate for 20 years ( am having a break until I get the vaccine ) and I lost all bodily hair . Have had to have my eyebrows micro bladed on as hot fed up with pencilling them in every day. My nails are in a terrible state , break and flake very easily and my teeth have broken and crumbled and are quite discoloured now which I hate!On the hair front , as soon as I came off methetrexate it grew back in earnest- in all the wrong places! If I get anymore chin hair I’m going to join the circus!!!
It’s horrible when we hate something about the way we look and feel self concious about things xx what are we like ! Xx I’m too scared to go the micro blading road would just be my
Luck it would go wrong 😩 but I envy people that have as they look amazing 😀
Omg 😢
I put it off for ages as I’d heard it was really painful but I never felt a thing! To start with it’s all a bit Groucho marks but they soon settle and I love them- fed up with pencilled in eyebrows sliding down my face in the heat! 🤣
My eyebrows are still needing a lot of plucking so they haven’t disappeared but aren’t quite as lush as they were but still very dark and plenty. I thought that was just how it went with maturing! I don’t need to fill in gaps etc though. I know Benefit have no end of various eyebrow products. My niece uses them but for different reasons .. she draws hers on/“accentuates” as do a lot of the female youth of today! (In my youth we had them down to one line in the 1970s! The Biba look.)
Anyone closer lol😀😀
Anyone else having probs with this site?
Anyone opted for private Cataract surgery?
Bowel Problems with RA anyone!!
