I have been on Ocrevus infusions for a couple of years, and generally have no problem with it. However, I have recently been finding that when I wash my hair, there is a lot of hair coming out into my hairbrush, and occasionally I run my fingers through it when it’s wet and come away with sizeable lumps of hair! Rather disconcerting. Was wondering if anyone else found this? Or is it just me? Shall mention it to the medics and see if it’s a known effect too.
Male or Female. Age approx? RR or PPMS?
Female, age mid 50s, Diagnosed with RR in 2013. Haven’t seen consultant in a couple of years, see the MS Specialist Nurses every 6 months, and they’re unrelentingly cheerful at me. I may try ringing them, but it’s a long, loongg wait for anyone to pick up the phone! Or answer an email, come to that. I would generally see the GP, but he has recently retired, and I’m not sure anyone else at the practice knows the first thing about MS (he admitted himself that he didn’t know much until he acquired a couple of patients with it and had to learn about it PDQ!) Ah well, I’ll try phoning tomorrow.
Have you had Covid fairly recently? A very common symptom that shows up a while after infection. It does resolve over time, apparently.
