Plegridy experience?

Hi, My doctor mentioned possibly switching me from Tecfider to Plegridy. I have lost more than half of my hair since starting Tecfidera (I know that it is not listed as a side effect) Does anybody have any experience with plegridy, or any information on it?  Some of the side effects seem concerning.  Thanks!

Yes he is not prescribing it at all. He said this at the MS annual meeting in our area.

Here's a recent discussion that at least starts out talking about Plegridy. Personally I'd much prefer an oral med if at all possible.

Ahh really? Too much risk for you, or he thinks it's too risky for all of his patients and doesn't prescribe it to anyone?

My MS Specialist will not prescribe it. He thinks there is too much risk.
