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 miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
