So the back story is I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2014 and revived iv treatment for 4 years on Infliximab then was in remission with no treatment u till I fell pregnant with my DS in May 2022, while I was pregnant I had a mild flare up that I managed to get under control then once he was born I had a major flare up where I ended up in hospital for 3 weeks and was quiet I'll and constantly bleeding from July-November when I started Humira/adalimumab injections which have helped and reduced my symptoms massively with in a week! Recently my hair has started falling out A-LOT where I'm getting worried now if any more falls out I will have none left.

Also my mum passed away 3 weeks before my DS was born so I have been under quiet a lot of stress.

I'm unsure if the hair-loss is due to my pregnancy (DS is nearly 1) stress or medication? I also have a rash on the top of my back like small spots under the skin I feel like my whole body is a mess between the rash and hair falling out my skin is in a bit of a mess and very dry ( probably due to the weather ) has anyone else experience this on Humira ? Or is it more due to pregnancy.

Not sure if this is relevant but my period has returned only for the 2nd time since he was born and I am on no other contraception so is it possibly hormones ?

When was the last time your iron was checked, ferritin and hemoglobin?

Mine was coming out in clumps and it was because I am iron deficient.
