Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for your question. One of the side effects for Methotrexate is - Hair Loss. There is no specific treatment for the hair loss that occurs secondary to medication except for discontinuing it. Once the medication is discontinued, or with time, the shedding will gradually resolve over 6-9 months.
There have been studies that show A gluten-free vegan diet full of nuts, sunflower seeds, fruit and vegetables appears to offer protection against heart attacks and strokes for people with rheumatoid arthritis.
