I noticed in the last two months that my hair is falling out. Don't know if it's from the MS or the medication. Please help I'm going bald and don't know what to do.

My doc said to use zinc and selenium, one pill each per day and at the same time, to help fight hair loss. I did, and it took a month or so, but I saw a big difference in the amount of hair in the brush. Now, I hardly shed at all.

But, always remember to ask your doctor before taking anything.

Ditto. I take a multivitamin (that has zinc in it) and also 10,000 of Biotin (skin/hair/nails vitamin). Slowly but surely my hair stopped falling out.

Take Biotin & a multivitamin together. I have noticed less hair loss...
