Hair Loss

I've had 2 half doses and my hair is coming out in wads. My scalp itches horribly. I went to the Dermatologist to see if there was a skin problem -- or even cooties. ๐Ÿค” Nope, neither. I've always been told that I have pretty, naturally curly hair. It is thinning too. Is there anything on the market that I can use to stop the itching? And, is there anything I can use to stop the hair loss? I was on Avonex for 12 years and never had any trouble.

Are you on Ocrevus? Sorry that this is happening to you, a couple of people have experienced hair loss with Ocrevus. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Have you changed or added any medications lately? Any significant dietary changes? Has your thyroid been checked? It sounds like something to report to your doctor.

Iโ€™ve found that vitamins for hair and nails work well. Also I use a detangler and. Pur a Dor hair thinning shampoo, I get from amazon. While I seem to go thur periods of thinning, it grows back quicker when I do the above.
