Members discussed experiencing hair loss and facial blemishes after starting Copaxone, with many confirming these as real and frustrating side effects. Several members shared that switching to other medications like Betaseron or Tecfidera helped their hair grow back and skin clear up, while others found relief using vitamin E or biotin supplements. A recurring theme was the importance of reaching out to an MS nurse or neurologist to explore other treatment options, with members encouraging each other to advocate for themselves.
