Thank you for all the information! I will ask my dermatologist for Zeljanz with light therapy! You are so right- the diet is very important as well!

To be perfectly honest, it would depend on what the original cause of the Vitiligo is. Some people have Vitiligo& nothing more. Myself& many others have Vitiligo as a result of another autoimmune diagnosis , I deal with Shrogrens disease which causes vitiligo , Hashimotos throiditis, Lada diabetes,after many other meds& extensive research , i asked my rheumatologist if I can try Zeljanz XR 11 mg, which is what the tablets you refer to are. That , & light therapy which I do 3/ week work remarkably well. I take Zeljanz only 3 days a week, 2 mg. Methylprednisolone 3 days week. Zeljanz is Very powerful& has a large amount of side effects. It does work incredibly well!! When I first tried to take it everyday, my pigment retuned 95 percent! That was with light therapy no topical Opzalura. The topical Opzalura cream was created because you don’t absorb as. I h of the medication systemically which means less side effects! I would maybe find a rheumatologist to run some tests if possible to see what’s the cause of the Vitigo! Autoimmune can go undetected , as it can be subtle in its presentation. I persisted for 1 1/2 years before I found out the problem. It also helps to try & figure out what causes it to spread. For most stress is a big contributer to making that happen. Antiinflammatory diet, gluten& dairy free, no night shade foods, can help get things under control! Hope I was able to help a little🥰

I was using Opzelura cream for 6months with no results at all! After 6months my dermatologist suggested to use the tablets and at this point I am hesitant! ,…

I started using Opzelura on my face and fingers 2 months ago.

(It took a while to get it approved by my insurance - my dermatologist had to keep resubmitting the claim insisting that I had tried other topicals w/o any results. Then It was free with the coupon offered through Opzelura’s website.)

So far I am seeing subtle repigmentation on my face - no change on my fingers and knuckles yet. I am taking photos every month as documentation.

My insurance won't cover the prescription and it's almost $3,000!!! You can go to their website and get a discount card. I will find out tomorrow how much they will cover and pas it along. I hear great results!!!
