At this point I have to just laugh. I was in hospital last week, was diagnosed with MS. Discharged last Friday, put on steroids while in hospital, symptoms cleared up by Tuesday and I woke up this morning with a very, heavy arm with horrible cramps and pins and needles.

Hello this is my first post, although I have been following the forum for several months. I was diagnosed in January and my MS nurse recommended the site.

Has anyone else dealt with hair falling out or hair loss? I've been dealing with MS symptoms for a little over a year and have noticed that my hair falls out much more than it used to. If I run my hand through it I might come away with five or six hairs. I've noticed I tend to lose eyelashes and bro...
