Do All MM Drugs Cause Hair To Fall Out?

I think Dex and other steroids wouldn’t cause baldness but are there other drugs that don’t cause hair to fall out?

Yeah me too so we borrowed a pair of hair clippers from the guy next door and shaved the rest off.

I lost my hair during my SCT. It was funny, I was sitting in bed at our hotel (outpatient SCT at UC Davis), secretly laughing to myself about NOT losing my hair and I felt what I thought was something crawling on my neck- I ran my hand over neck and up the back of my head and the hair was everywhere. It’s quite a shock. On the plus side, I didn’t need to shave for three months. It’s also kinda funny about places the hair remains😉. This is a fascinating journey.

For all you Catholics out there, I am going to Fatima today and will, of course, pray for everyone suffering cancer, loneliness, and pain. Regardless of denomination or lack thereof, no one will be forgotten. Rich

Physical Therapy helps you regain your balance. You need to get your balance back through muscle memory. Plus the exercise increase bones mass and the muscles help take the load off your bones. Look into it, talk to your doctor,etc.

The combo of Kyprolis, dexamethasone and revlimid didn't lead to hair loss.
