Grey hair

Hi, Hope everyone is as well as can be!! Not sure if I’ve asked this before but can MS or Ocrevus cause gray hair growth? Over the last few months if ‘sprouted’ loads and I’m only 36 so wasn’t expecting so many so soon. X

Neither Ocrevus nor multiple sclerosis (MS) directly causes faster gray hair growth. While some patients notice changes in hair color or increased shedding after an MS diagnosis or starting treatment, clinical trials and medical data do not link Ocrevus or MS demyelination to hair graying. Accelerated graying is typically driven by genetics, aging, or chronic stress.

Absolutely when I was diagnosed in 2000. The information and facts weren't as abundant through search. Mid 1990's internet started that tool alone will make this journey with ms far, far better. Plus chat with people going through the same or similar obstacles. How they approached them and so on.
