Re: Aubagio and Hair Loss side effect

went for a haircut today. Hair was way too long. I was in shock what I saw, or should I say didn't see, on the top of my head. I knew over the past couple of years that it was thinning, but man, didn't think this bad. Could be age mixed with the drug but jeez, it is shocking. At least there is still...

Re: Aubagio and Hair Loss side effect

As mentioned, I have been on this drug since 2007. Any types of shampoo, brands, you can suggest to get rid of the frizzies, and maybe even the thiness. Thnx

Re: Aubagio and Hair Loss side effect

I have been taking this drug since 2007. I was in Phase III and have been extended multiple times. I am still on the drug provided by the MS clininc until October 2014. I am not sure what dose I was on for the first 2 years, or maybe the placebo, but after the 2 years were up, I am on the real thing...

Was I destined only to have the one? Don't know. I just keep popping those pills, ooops, I better go take one, ...

Re: Aubagio

Experienced no side FX at all. None! I have been on the real thing since 2009 and obviously, not sure whch dose. No side FX again...

Re: Teriflunomide

It has been a while since my last post. I am still on the extended study, still not knowing what I was taking during the trial, several years ago. As of now, I am scheduled to be off the drug in June 2013, unless it gets extended once again. My ultrasounds have stopped although the MRIs continue. I ...

Talk about taking advantage of those in need. Price the stuff out of control just because its easier to take than a needle. Wait til the next pill is approved and watch their prices drop, unless the shareholders demand bigger dividends. So much for a company with a good conscious. Only in it for the...

As far as I know, there may not be any change to how you feel now, and the MS may not worsen. On the other hand, who knows. That is why members here take it day by day and hope for the best. I was diagnosed in Nov 2007 and been on a clinical trial for an oral drug. I am quite a bit older than you bu...

Hi Wedgirl, Sorry to hear what you have been going through. I was diagnosed in 2007 and currently on a test study for oral treatment drug. During my diagnosis term, the thought of a spinal tap was worrisome. I am not going to pretend that it was a great experience, but not as rough as I expected. On...
