Female Hair Loss After MRIs

(female) Recently I underwent a series of MRI’s 6 in total, for diagnosis of MS, which i didn’t have. The thing is my hair is falling out now, to the point I can comb my hair and bunches of it will come out, my hair was always thin on top, so to have all this hair fall out, and on the sides and back is really depressing, I know that my age (62) may have something to do with the thinning hair line, but this extreme hair loss started just after the MRI’s. Do you have any idea what it may be?

thank you

I doubt magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) would cause the hair loss. If I was a betting man, I would think more along the lines of the multiple sclerosis or stress as the cause of your hair loss… or even some of the medications that you use to treat the MS. You should ask these questions to your treating doctor. As always, do not stop or start any medications without first consulting your doctor.
