      Hi Linda,

      I've been in an earlier ipi trial for 82 weeks. My hair turned white around week 24.  The majority of the change only took about 10 days.  The vitiligo started faintly around week 7 (3rd treatment) and still continues to spread slowly.  Mostly on my arms.

      I went through a period of anemia in the early stages, but then improved slowly without need of transfusion.  I was heavy on ibuprofen for awhile due to joint and muscle ache.

      Give your husband my best.  It sounds like he's a responder, hopefully the scans will prove it.
