Vitamin B

Hi just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I started Tecfidera 5 weeks ago for our RRMS. I am taking amigo 3 Fish oils, vitamin D3 and Biatain as my hair started falling out last week. Iv heard that vitamin B complex and calcium would also help as my diet lacks dairy and certain vitamins Would that be too much vitamin B. Thank you in advance.

Hi @hayley_criddle. This happened to me too 3 years ago with Tec BUT my hair thickened up again after a while. Other tips I got came from my hairdresser. She said do not wash your hair too much and, if shoulder length or longer, only put conditioner on the ends if you have to, as it adds extra weight to wet hair. Sorry I can't add anything technical or medical! :-)

Hi I had this initially with Tecfidera. I thought I was going to end up with no hair left the rate it was coming out! Totally settled down by 8- 10 weeks and get no hair loss at all now 5 months in. Hope it soon settles for you too.
