Has anyone else noticed their hair falling out and weakened nails? If you have, may I recommend Biotin. Great for hair and nails. Some studies suggest that a vital B-vitamin and biotin, might help reduce the impact of MS, Biotin activates key enzymes, helping the body to produce more myelin.i
That’s a triple benefit, I really want my hair and nails to grow in, as well as repair myelin.

Some meds may cause it are you on Mavenclad? It's a very "dumbed down" meaning low dose type of chemo.

I was waiting for my verdict....how much will go? will I need to scarf or wig up? how bad will it be? and then it finally quit falling. looked SO BAD, and then the few left started growing long and it was /is quite pathetic, but seems there is growth from fuzz to an inch or three hiding amongst the long that stuck around ICK!
