Losing my Hair!!! Anyone???

Since I started Rebif, Neurotin and all this stuff, my hair has thinned. Fortunately i have a full head of fluffy curly frizzy hair and now it is looking more controlled, however, I'm really concerned, I'm losing a lot. Anyone else having this issue??? Is there anything I can take to try and prevent this?

Nine yrs. ago when I first was diagnosed they put me on Avonex and that caused a significant amnt. of hair loss. Not to much helps with this problem, but I do remember that when I was going through it I bought some items at a health food store, like creams and supplements that really helped improve the situation. I f you have a Whole Foods store near you I am sure that they would be able to suggest something... best, em

My hair started falling out profusely when I began having continuous symptoms. I wonder if part of it is the stress of not knowing what was going on. But then it has continued for nearly a year. No I am not bald...but I do have to sweep the bathroom floor every day now...blahhh

I just started a topic on this very subject under "Advice" (I think)....no one replied.

Now I see this! Yup! Too much comming out in my brush, taking a shower really does it. I too am blessed with thick hair, long... I take copaxone. Started 3 weeks ago, so did the hair problem.

This is a disease htat just "keeps on giving".......lovely. Just f'n lovely.....good news is I lost about 10 pounds. 140 to 129......I am 5'6 approximately in height.

Oh yeah!! :0

My doc suggested T-Gel shampoo......when this happened many many years ago.

T-Gel worked then, I am willing to try it again! I mean, if this just went on and on and on .....people would think we are trying to do the Britney Spears deal....(You know how fashion conscientious some of us gals can be)...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
