So sorry to hear your eyelashes are falling out. My daughter's did too. She lost nearly all of them.
Her hair was also falling out. The good news is, they grow back. Her thyroid was was off the chart, like in the 400's.
Her LLMD sent her to the Fibro center here in Vegas and the MD here put her on thyroid meds and a small amount of testosterone cream. She has all kinds of new hair coming in and her eyelashes have grown back.
No hair on her chest or back yet!!! Maybe your having problems with your adrenals and thyroid. Have you had them checked?
Happy New Year

HI! I just checked out your myspace page and it is great!
Your story sounds a lot like mine - being made to feel crazy by docs and family while knowing something is wrong...
So glad you are on your way to recovery!
Thank you for bringing awareness to Lyme through your page.
Take care Jackie

Have you had your thyroid checked?
I also have hypothyroidism.
Maybe it is caused by lyme though. I have no idea about that for sure. My hair falls out a lot (not in huge clumps, but a LOT of hair nonetheless) and I've been treating my hypothyroidism, so maybe it IS lyme...
