HAIR LOSS

Hi all, I'd like to find out if anyone else out there with MS who is on Tecfidera, is suffering from hair loss?? As it's driving me mad !!! I'm totally frustrated with it all now as I've always had lovely thick hair and never had any issues with hair loss but since taking Tecfidera (11 months now) half of my hair has fallen out/thinned!! I've been in touch with my MS nurse, who does listen to what I'm saying but I keep getting told it's not a side effect of the drug. I then did a search on Google and there are quite a few other forums where other woman are experiencing the same hair loss/thinning. It can't be a coincidence surely?? Can anyone help ??

Hi @wendles If you use the magnifying glass top left and type in hair loss into the search box it'll take you to other posts made about it. I'm a bloke so for me at least it's either the tecfidera or just old age. Although apparently all my family reckons I've been getting thinner way before I had MS. They thought it would have been pretty obvious to me.....

I've been taking Tecfidera for 4 years now and have not had any hair loss. I still regularly get flushing though.
