something specific?

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed their hair thinning out? I take ocrevus, I started it in June 2021. I have been noticing for the last while I seem to be losing a lot of hair, nothing drastic but it's definitely thinning out quite a bit. I'm just wondering if it is stress related? Ms re...

I know I shouldn’t be so vain, but about to start Mavenclad and worried about the ‘hair loss’. Anyone else had this? Is it thinning or going completely bald? Does it grow back? I was on Aubagio which had a similar side effect, although it didn’t seem to effect me. Thanks

I got diagnosed in September and never had any problems with loss of hair but since I got diagnosed I’m losing a lot of hair. First I thought it was because of the stress but now I wonder if it could be a symptom of ms or if it’s because of the ocrevus infusions I got this month. Does anyone experie...

Hey guys! I have started Tecfidera for a week now, which has been all good so far. As I am starting my 240 dose now, I was reading the leaflet and saw that hair loss was a potential side effect. It really scared me because my hair is a big part of my identity, and my doctor never mentioned that as a...

I've completed my first 2 infusions with Ocrevus and have had no complaints, with great results! But I have been noticing way more hair coming off in my brush and in the shower. Anyone else experience anything like this?

I’ve had both rounds of lemtrada and just recently a family member noticed I had bald patches at the back of my head could this be a side effect from the treatment?

As I was searching for this before my first round I thought I would add it for others in my situation. I experienced hair loss such as clearing my hair brush much more often and hairs on my clothes ect for about six weeks after round 1 which worried me as it kept happening so long after the treatm...

I am starting on Aubagio tomorrow and wanted to ask peoples experience? I took Avonex for 10 years, ( luckily no progression? Just hated injecting myself so am giving Aubagio a go. My main concern is the hair loss, how thin does it get, I'm 40 and proud to have thick hair, sorry if that sounds vain.

I've been plucking hairs out of my chin for years due to PCOS but as I get older and my eyes aren't so good I'm thinking about getting them removed with laser treatment. Does anyone know any reason why my MS might be an issue with this? I'm on Tysabri.

Has anyone else experienced hair loss after multiple-day solumedrol steroid infusions? I had a 5-day solumedrol infusion last year and lost a good bit of hair right after it. Just wondering if anyone has had this experience?

Helloo everyone, Hope everyone is doing really well. Here is my question. I have been on fingolimod for 3 years and I know there is a risk of having skin cancer as a side effect. My question is that I am thinking of getting facial hair removal that uses/sprays laser to my face. The question is am l ...

Hi everyone Hope you are all doing Ok. Bit of a random and probably trivial one but does anyone know if a clinic can refuse to treat you for laser hair removal if you have MS? I disclosed that I had MS when enquiring about getting this done and they are now refusing to treat me without a letter f...

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 supplem...

Just finished my 2nd week year 1 on Mavenclad and my hair seems to be coming out a lot, I know hair isn't everything but just wondering if anyone else has experienced it and will it stop! Also hair texture has changed. 🙆‍♀️🤷‍♀️

hello everyone :) I was wondering if anyone has experienced hair thinning on interferon beta 1b (I'm currently on Extavia) From what i understand/I have read it appears to be a rare-ish side effect of this type of medication, but I am interested to see if anyone personally has had this issue too, t...

Anyone else had this hair loss side effect? One tablet per day.

Bit of an odd one and definitely not anything major to worry about but... I’ve really noticed over the last few years that my hair has gradually become super dry, brittle, tangled... I’m prone to shedding more hair than ever too. I’ve tried to cut back on using heat and use a crazy amount of conditi...

Hello to you all, I have seen the topic on hair loss, thank you for sharing. I am curious however, on how people on aubagio are doing. I am on aubagio myself for 6 months, and my hair has thinned extremely (I lost about 2/3 of my volume). Has anyone experienced hair growing back? And did it last, or...

Does Plegridy cause hair loss?, anyone had any experience ?, thanks

Can MS cause hair loss at some stage?
