Tysabri - possible side effect?

Hi everyone, This one is for the Tysabri community...... I'm wondering if anyone has noticed significant hair loss? I have seen the question asked on a health website, however, can not find the responses. I asked the infusion nurses as they see 40-50 MSers each week and have not had it mentioned to them. Maybe its just me getting old.... hahaha

I've been on Tysabri for around 8 years now, and I've not noticed any hair loss. With that being said, I keep my hair very short (old military habits die hard) and it would be hard to notice it anyway :) I've not heard of hair loss as a possible side effect, but it very well could be for certain people. Based on your other post it sounds like Tysabri seems to be working, and that's wonderful. I was on REBIF while still recovering from the major relapse that led to my diagnosis when I had another relapse. My neurologist switched me over to Tysabri and I was able to quickly recover to my old self in only a few months (thankfully). I still deal with Lhermitte's sign, but its twinge varies day to day. I hope Tysabri continues to work for you.

I’m on tysabri and I have noticed it, also thinning of my hair. My doctors say it is not possible but yes I am experiencing it.. sucks, right?
