After Incivek was finished I really began to notice the hair loss. My scalp also got real scaly and occasionally a small "chunk" would just drop off, taking the hair strands with it. I was petrifed. I got a large squeeze bottle of a cheap dandruff shampoo and used it every day, until a few weeks after the peg/riba stage (24 weeks in my case) was over. Gradually things began to normalize on the head and scalp. And funny thing is, hair started coming in or growing longer or thicker everywhere else, too. This has got to be most unusual experience of my lifetime. To try and describe it to someone who has not experienced it is almost impossible.

Hi Brian, wait a bit and the body hair will follow. My hair loss didn't become obvious until 18 weeks. Now at 42 weeks, the hair loss from the head seems to have stopped, but I have fine 'down' on my arms and legs, with nothing underarm and little down below. Bit scary. With my muscle wasting, I'm looking quite feminine!!!

After being off the dreaded Ineveck for a couple of weeks I'm noticing a bit more hair loss. It's not so much on my head but everywhere else seems to be thinning ? I wish it would effect my back hair more
