You're probably right on all counts Kev. Asacol, Remicade, big dose, and nutrition deficiencies. I just switch from Remicade to
Humira. I was off for 3 mths. When I started Humira (4 shots initially) I started loosing hair left and right, which is not a good thing for me as I've had thinning hair ever since I started Asacol 2 decades ago. I been plagued with Cheilitis (red, swollen lips) for the past year. In my research I've discovered it could be
Crohn's of the mouth, a reaction to meds., allergies, or nutrition dificiency. I believe one of the signs of iron dificiency is hair loss...or maybe it was B12. Too much research and learned info. for my little brain to remember.
As for age, don't you know that crohn's or the treatment of said disease hastens your aging process exponentially?
