Hi
Tecfidera has been reported to cause loss of weight as a side effect with some population ,so I recommend taking it after meal.
It is not easy to get your hair back after shaving it at this age so it is nothing to worry about ..
Feel better soon

Hi
Weight loss in MS is mainly due to muscle loss which is usually followed by weight gaining
Shaving hair cause the new hair that grow thicker, using hair removal cream or sweet can soften you hair gradually
Good Luck

hi,
weight loss is due to MS and tecfidera that you have been taking.
Usually this is temporary and u will soon grow again.
Shaven hair will definitely grow back but will be very slow.
take vitamin E and calcium supplements.
thanks

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, weight loss is due to side effect of Tecfidera but hairs not growing back is not due to the medication or MS..
Do not worry as it is not due to any medical condition and hairs will gradually grow..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
