tysabri side effects hair loss

Hi Candy! I've been on Tysabri for almost 2 years now and I am really happy with it. I was afraid of the possible side effects too, but so far I haven't had any. I make sure I get tested for JCV regularly and feel like it really helps me. I haven't had a serious relapse since I've been on it and I've been through enough stressful situations that it could have easily brought one on.

How long after taking gabapentin will the side effects last. I have hair loss. I stopped taking gabapentin about four or five months ago.

I read what the publish side effect say, but it does say not all listed side effects are listed and itprovides a way to get the "complte list" I sure hope it doesn't include hair loss, I've lost enough hair already and just went on Flecainide today

Hi Kelly, I'm on Gilenya about 2.5 months now. So far so good, too early to say re: efficacy. Symptoms stable and MRI scheduled for March 2015. Was a bit headachy at the beginning but this side effect dissipated pretty quickly. No other side effects, no hair loss that I've noticed. Just did my follow up eye exam and all was fine. Will do some blood tests at the three month mark to check liver enzymes, lymphocytes, etc.

Hi, I was diagnosed 2 years ago in September. I have been taking Aubagio for almost 2 years. For about the first 6-8 months I had mild diahreha (sp?), and hair thinning. It all leveled out and my hair grew back! I don't have any side effects now and I'm glad I stuck with it. Good luck!

Hair loss is sometimes a side effect of taking beta blockers. Not sure if there's a way to stop that other than changing medications. You have normal sinus rhythm but it's fast? How fast? If it's consistently over 100, you should talk to your cardio about that. It's not normal or healthy. Your meds may need to be adjusted.

Some people experience few side effects and/or minimal side effects and others have either more side effects or more problematic side effects. In addition, many of the side effects are not constant. They tend to wax and wane, worse some days and minimal other days. Some side effects are more common than others and appear in varying degrees in many people taking the drugs. Hair loss is not uncommon according to the statistics. Hair loss among people taking Pegasys 180 mcg. for 48 weeks is 22%.

Worth nothing is that the flu-like side effects of Avonex often are less troubling after the first few weeks or months, but I've never seen anyone suggest that the mood-related side effects dissipate.

I also kept my hair with Gemzar. But I do have to admit that it was a hard chemo for me. I was also on the 3 week on and 1 week off schedule. Keep in mind, as Gail said, chemo affects all of us differently. But after my treatments, I had about 2 hours before it started to hit me. I never experienced nausea or vomiting, but I felt really bad for about 3 days. The upside was that after I was on it for awhile, the side effects gradually started to ease up.

She went to a doctor yesterday about her hair and the doctor told her that it was because of this medication (Lydrica) But I have seen all side effects and none talk about hair lost. And my mother does not want to leave this medication because its the only one that works for her burning feet. Has anybody else expirence hair loss with Lydrica?She also takes Cymbalta 60mg,lyrica 75mg, Nexuim 40mg, and Tramabol 50mg. What do you all suggest she get tested for ?

s merely the remnants of a cold. However, I am losing an insane amount of hair, above the average hair loss due to postpartum. Is this the combo of thyroid, meds and postpartum... I'm on tapazole 10mg daily dose. Is there something I can do? I had my blood work done on Friday and WBC was normal... does it fluctuate easily? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

I used both, and found that side effects are similar; tiredness, weight gain, and a slow pulse. Side effects are more pronounced as the dosage is increased. I had dosages from 25mg to 200mg. daily. Other reported effects are loss of libido, tightness in the chest, itching, irregular breathing, and irregular heartbeat. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to respond based on my experience with the drug.

I have been reading the posts on here about post treatment side effects and I was wondering how many of you have had severe hair loss? I only treated for 24 weeks but had lots of problems throughout treatment. I am 2 and half months post tx. Anyhow my hair will grow for about 4 to 7 days max then it falls back out. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, I was just reading about an older dog having a problem with urinary incontinence and the treatment she was given, particularly the possible side effects. My White Bearded Collie (13 years old) started being incontinent last year and my vet has prescribed INCURIN 1mg daily. This has been mostly effective (just the odd occurrence when she was asleep or distressed). I was just concerned that it may have some serious side effects such as those mentioned for the other treatment (PPA).

Sorry to hear that you are having Tysabri side effects. I've had 4 infusions and no ill effects at all.

m taking this medicine for more than a year or may b nearly 2 years yes I have a lot of side effects one of them is hair loss My hairs were longer than my spinal cord and thick I have dizzy spells funny feelings inside chest tiredness continuesly low BP But what can we do? My skip beats scares me a lot so I ve to take this medication I'm on 2.

My neuro, who is a Tysabri and Avonex researcher says that about 50% of his Tysabri patients report something similar. I have had NO bad side effects. The main factor affecting the sole worrisome problem is whether or not you are positive for the JC virus. As long as you are negative there is only an infinitesimal chance of it. I have had only minor progression of one problem (appearance of pain in my face) and several brain lesions have shrunk or disappeared..

Has anyone had an experience where Tysabri triggered old symptoms to return, or had side effects similar to this? I looked up the side effects and it sounds sort of similar, but it's just odd that what I am feeling is exactly the same as my previous relapse, just way worse. Is this a relapse? Side effects? Something I'm stuck with now? Any thoughts would be helpful! Looking forward to reading more!

Hello, It is true that accutane has plenty of side effects. It may cause cheilitis and dry lips but thinning of skin and hair loss are less frequent side effects. From your symptoms first of all hypothyroidism should be ruled out. The second possibility to be ruled out is of vitamin D deficiency.

I chose to stop Copaxone due to significant hair loss. If it was the only choice I would have accepted the hair loss but thankfully there are many choices. I had a newer blood test for biomarkers and my Neuro said the betasaron should be effective for me. So I am currently giving it a second chance. If it does not work my next step is Gilenya. But it would be temporary, my Neuro does not like to keep her patients on it for more than a year.

The numerous reports may be the 1% who have the hair loss, so that doesn't prove the original drug trial %s were in error. Many people take this drug so if there was a large % with hair loss I would imagine it would have been reported and docs would stop prescribing it. That is a really interesting bit of information about the generics.
