Wondering if this is a common side effect? Been on copaxone daily injection 20mg since May. I already have thin hair, but went to the hairdresser today and she showed me, my hair is SUPER thin!! Then got to thinking, could this be a side effect of copaxone? Has anyone else experienced this?? Does it get better? Does it get worse? Any info would be greatly apprecitated!! Thanks π
I experienced a lot of hair loss for several months probably a year or so after I started Copaxone. I was told it was completely unrelated and was more than likely stress related. Regardless, it stopped falling out and regrew so in the end my hair was back to normal.
I started Copaxone three months ago and I have noticed that I am losing more hair than before too
Thanks so much for all the replies. Im starting to think that βTheyβ dont know much, and grasp at anything βWeβ tell them. I feel more confident with eveyones input on this site than the doctors and nurses I deal with. Thanks Again!! Merry Christmas!!! ππ
I had that problem,aloe gel worked great,now I'm on tysabri so knock on that isn't a problem anymore.
What I can say about Copaxone, I no longer take it because my body seemed to develop sensitivity to it. It burned when ever I injected it. I have permanent indents where I injected. It's definitely a self conscience thing for sure now. Not baring this body! I guess these are MS war scars but I wish I had never taken it. Now I'm on Rebif. Have had no problems this time around.
