Can you do me a favor and explain this "MS rash"? What is it that you're using that controls it? Thanks!

Trilafon cleared up this rash with a week. My family doctor said he wasn't surprised because of friend of his had a rash and this is the only drug that controlled it. To my regret this rash is 'starting' to come back even though my Trilafon was increased by 2mg; total 14mg daily. If memory serves me correctly, I started out on 8mg daily. |

Thanks, 0357. I never heard of that before. Quite interesting!
Sorry to hear, however, that you have this problem. I certainly hope it clears up for you again. Really appreciate you explaining that for me.

Hey Erin,
I had periods of months where I had alot of facial flushing and then lately my hair is very dry and I have noticed alot of hair loss as well. Nothing that you mentioned but just wanted to tell you about my symptoms with Copaxone. Take Care Adrian |

I do find myself getting acne sometimes and my hair is thinning....but....I've always gotten a little acne here and there around 'that time' each month and the hair thinning, I see my GP this week and will discuss that, could be just a reaction to all those babies I had consecutively, lol
If you read the fine print about Copaxone, there is mention to thyroid....always something to get checked out with your GP. Best of luck....

Every time I go into the clinic to give blood, they ask "Are you on thyroid medication or something?". I have to explain that no, I'm not on thyroid medication. I am on daily injections of Copaxone for MS. "Ahhhh".

It does something to your thyroid???
How come my neuro never told me this. (at the time I started Copaxone, I couldnt see well enough to read the fine print) Maybe I'll make an appointment to see my regular doctor (who is total eye candy... ) I wanted to see if I could talk him into a Rx for LDN since the neuro wouldnt give me one.

Try a different shampoo, perhaps?

I seem to lose the same amount of hair every time I shower (daily). I didn't really check before I began Copaxone. But now I have a little hair net for the drain, and I always pull the same amount off the net.
I have a lot of hair (it's thick but fine) so I'm not overly worried that I'm going bald, that's for sure. If I see my part getting wider, well then we have problems!
