Hair loss and Tecfidera

Hi MSers, This is my first post- I think this is an really helpful forum where you are connected to a 'family' who can actually help you by their first hand experiences. Any way I'm beginning to feel quite down because I've lost more than half my hair. I've been taking the necessary vitamin supplements and changed my shampoo geared towards women over 40 who suffer hair loss due to hormonal changes. I had thyroid cancer 10 years ago and now do not have a thyroid as it was removed but this hair loss is recent and nothing to do with my thyroid. In the past year I've lost half my hair. The only thing I can put it down to is that I started Tecfidera a year ago now. I'm feeling really down about this. My next appointment with my Consultant is in February 2018 and I dread how much hair I will have by then if I can't do anything about it. Has anyone suffered anything similar on Tecfidera and if you stopped taking it did your hair eventually grow back? Thanks :)
