I'm still considering an oral Leflunomide try (Hair Multiplication & Research)

» I've been reading up some on this drug and I may still try it orally for
» the Folica method.
»
» The serious risk is there, but it seems to be pretty tied to the Rhematoid
» Arthritis conditions that the drug is typically being used to treat. And
» something like 200,000 people have used this stuff. It can't be killing
» everybody who tries it.
»
» The normal usage has been to stay on it for months & years on end, whereas
» I'm talking a week and a half for a Folica try. I'm pretty healthy in the
» big picture, I'm not asian, I don't smoke, and I don't have RA in the first
» place.
»
»
» I'm not sure what to think about the loading dose though. The recommended
» dosage has been 100mg/day for three days and then get into the regular
» 10/20mg per day after that. But now the more recent info has frowned upon
» the loading dose as part of the serious risk factors. (No big surprise
» here - if something is gonna hurt you, then dumping it into your body in
» large quantities at the start probably increases the risk right then.)
»
»
»
» But for a Folica try, there's no way to skip the loading dose and still
» get anything out of this. This stuff has been estimated to take as much as
» two months to get effective on just the regular small daily dose alone. If
» I'm gonna do this, it's gonna have to include taking a couple hundred
» milligrams in only a few days time to get it started.
»
»
» I dunno. If I do this, maybe I'll take a 200-mg loading dose over the
» course of 3 days rather than the original 300mg recommendation, and then
» little or nothing after that for the rest of the week and a half. Then
» some activated charcoal to rapidly kick the Arava back out of my body after
» the Folica period is up.
»
»
»
»
» Any thoughts?
»
» Am I crazy to consider this?
»
» Is it reasonable, it's just an arthritis drug, and I'm just the only one
» with balls around here?
»
» I've done a lot of stupid stuff in my life, including some perscription
» and nonperscription drugs, and this one just doesn't seem that scary in the
» big picture.


Supposedly, my generic getfitinib is on the way Cal. Im probably going to try it orally for about five days post re-epilithialization after a TCA peel. I'll also be on an anti-androgen and be taking arginine (mentioned in the first patent). I hope it gets here next week. Im ready to give it a shot and get it over with......
