Tysabri and hair loss?

[Bkboo]

My hair is thinning...dramatically. My doctor said it isn't Tysabri and may be stress.

I was on Tysabri for over seven years and no hair loss The only side effect was fatigue for two days and back to the so called normal 👍🙏 Ken 🐾🐾

I was on Tysabri for over six years with no hair loss. Maybe other stress? Take care. Kelly

I have never been on tysabri,but it really could be so many other things,that is the thing about ms.,so many symptoms mimic other things,but stress can cause sooo many things.I am always looking for reasons, example. is it stress,menopause,does my back really hurt?maybe thyroid, just GUESSING.

I know I wonder too...but with menopause and age it seems to be different ...its like a double whammy!

I did 44 doses of tysabri and never noticed hair loss but I sure do on ocrevus!

[Bkboo in reply to Juleigh21]

I couldn't handle Ocrevus, I felt bad after infusion for 2mths...so not for me.

Never been on Tysabri, but if I had to guess, it's candida.

Agree good emdocrinplogist if thyroid. I think one of harder issues to treat properly. Would have other symptoms but subtle.godd luck

I was at my derm appointment a couple weeks ago and mentioned I was losing more hair than usual. She asked about major stressors in the 2-4 month period prior. She said stress is the biggest cause of hair loss. My thyroid levels have always been fine so knew it wasn't that. I started working on stress management and the hair loss is back to normal. She did say that normal hair loss is 100 strands each day.

yeah stress can cause havoc on your body...especially with an added illness such as MS.
