Hair Update
So now I have a weird mix of bald patches and long curly hair. I mostly wear my hair in a low loose ponytail to stop myself from seeing big peices fall out. The good news is the hair is falling out less. Maybe it is stopping? Who knows? There also is little "stuble" re- growth already in the bald skin pathes so they don't stand out as much., since they are kind of "colored- in". They are itchy as heck though! Thank goodness I had a wild, thick head of hair to begin with!

Isn't hair loss "frustipating"? I guess I am thankfulo I had it or I might still not have a diagnosis. The Dr. remembered reading of a disease that featured pleurisy and hair loss, then he asked if I had the other symptoms, which he listed, and yes I had them. I had patchy baldness for years, and what brought it back is "Mane 'n Tail" conditioner for horses. You rub in a dot the size of a nickel at night, then wash your hair in the morning. It's used to fill in horses bald patches for show horses. Hope it works for you!
Blessings
