I wonder if its medication that causes me to lose my hair it was never an issue before.

Every. Single. Website I have checked - and I have read dozens and dozens about this subject - says hair loss is not a symptom of MS, and that it must be the Meds. Well, I wasn't taking meds when I started losing my hair! It started the same time as my other symptoms of MS. And I still lose clumps every day. I really think it is related, maybe the body is just stressing out because of the auto-immune attack it's under.

I would watch your B12 level. I am B12 defecient and have to inject it weekly, but I can tell if I forget to take my shot because my hair falls out.

Try adding Centrium Silver or a multi-vitamin like that to your regimen to see if that helps. It really helped me.

YES, YES, YES! After being on Ocrevus I definitely lost a lot of hair! Used to be down a little past my shoulders BUT now it’s just to the bottom of my chin and I wear curls so my hair LOOKS thicker. Switched back to Tysabri prayerfully my hair regimen (Using Naturalicious products on a consistent basis and have now started the rice water rinse) switching meds will help my hair to grow! 😭❣️🙏🏽❣️
