    Starting Gilenya - hair loss?

    I'll take my first dose in a week. I'm both excited and nervous about it. I was just reading about the hair loss. Is there something I can do to try to prevent this? My hair is thin enough already. I hope I have the good results that many of you have had. My legs have gotten pretty wobbly and weak. Thanks for all the great info on this drug.

    Try a starting biotin and selenium. I can't say it will help But it won't hurt.

      Reference http://www.news-medical.net/news/2007/07/11/27395.aspx, "Selenium Supplements May Do More Harm Than Good," and relevant articles from the Annals of Internal Medicine: http://www.annals.org/search?fulltex...t=yes&x=27&y=3.

          Hey nkh18, I'm a 30yr old male... had concerns about hair loss too... nothing... none... nada... been on it for a couple months now. Can still style and pull on my hair like I did before. My legs seem a tad weaker, but I'm not sure if that's any different from before.
