I am losing the hair on my back from TX, very distraught!

[spectda]

The hair on my back seems to be thinning quite heavily from TX. It was hard to take this pic this morning but I have really long arms and wanted to see what you thought. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this? Will it ever come back?

I'm not a big back hair guy so it is hard for me to empathize.
I don't like the thought of you feeling alone and lost................but I don't like the thought of you looking like a monkey either. I guess I'm not the right person to discuss this problem.

Thanks for trying in spite of being repulsed. You are a true gentleman. I am really sorry that the second pic did not work, I think you would have felt differently if you could have seen it.
Thank you,
Dave

I’m beginning to wonder if this is an as yet undisclosed side effect of the Boceprevir, Dave. I’d definitely keep this from the study team; they may dose reduce and try to cover this up; lord knows how hard this would hit Schering Plough’s stock if word got out.

This just might be a temporary condition; it could resolve shortly after cessation of therapy. In the meantime, Miracle Grow does wonders for my tomatoes; perhaps you could keep a jar of it in the nightstand and wifey could massage some in before retiring for the evening?

And if that doesn’t work, you could always resort to the old reliable; fish emulsion… it’s grown tall lawns for decades… and as an added plus, the neighbors cats will finally adore you too. Many options to choose from after all, guy.

Call me crazy Dave, but check your study documents; there may be a provision for IV Rogaine to be used as a rescue drug in instances like this. Just thinking out loud,

Bill-
The fish emulsion is a bit stinky and i hear a lot of meows outside, I like the idea of something natural though. I guess rogaine will be the last resort.
Thanks for all of your suggestions.
