Hair loss

[Horse714]

How many girls have had there hair falling out, I called my neurologist and spoke to her nurse and she stated it’s from the steroids they give before the Ocrevus I’m having a little hard time believeing this. How about you guys what do you think??? And I like to know will my hair come back I’m not into wigs at all!!! I’ve been using rogaine and biotin from gnc hearing you can get cancer and now my hair falling out wtf

I'm not on Ocrevus but I have been hearing about hair lost from some that had started on that infusion that experience hair lost but I haven't heard if it's from the infusion. ❤🌷

I have never heard that you get hair loss from the steroids but others have stated that they do get hair loss from Ocrevus. You should take it up with your neurologist and doctor and see what they have to say. Let us know please how you get on, Blessings Jimeka 🦋

I never had hair loss from steroids actually had an increase in hair before menopause. I have hair loss from menopause. I am not on Ocrevus. But my neurologist told me I should not get hair loss. I guess it in an individual occurrence.

My daughters a pharmacist in Colorado she told me it’s from the steroids so I looked up solumedrol and it does say hair loss, but I’ve been on it when I first had my first m.s symptoms and that was in 94 I don’t remember losing this much hair and it coming back in all frizzy. I wish the doctors would tell me/is the truth, I don’t want to disclaim the doctors/neurologist but come on now they’ve got to know what’s causing it.

Also I was on Avonex for 15+ years and one of the side effects was hair loss I hardly had any hair loss on that med but at least they warned you.

I have read of others using Ocrevus having some hair loss, but was it due to that or the steroids? I'm not thrilled about the hair loss possibility, as I'm starting Ocrevus (if insurance approves it) in the next few months, and I seem to have this as a side effect of some medications. Hmmm... wig, or MS? Maybe the wig isn't such a bad idea.

good point. If insurance doesn't pay they have a program that u can check out on their site

Honey all you need is good old fashioned Castor oil. Try the mango and lime one. Few drops in center of scalp daily, honey your hair will be full, shiny and thick.

Take care
