A member asked:

Previously, i was diagnosis as having multiple brain lesions. no diagnosis of ms, yet. within the past year, i've lost >40% of my hair. could these be related?

Could be: If you haven't seen a neurologist yet, you should. Maybe someone who specializes in ms and related disorders.

Comments: Hair loss is not caused by MS (however, new oral agent for MS, Aubagio can cause). Seek a dermatologist and get answers. The lesions need to be followed with additional MRI's, and if films of neck not yet done, suggest these to be added. Spinal fluid evaluation may help pin this down. The eye pain and double vision needs a diagnostic explanation. May need both neurologist and ophthalmologist.
