AS for the hair loss, there is a fabulous product out there called Nyoxin (sp?) that people who are undergoing chemo use to gorw back hair. They even sell it at Walmart or Target. Apparently, as long as there is a hair follicle there, you CAN regrow hair. I'm going to get it for my mom as she is going bald from Alopecia.

Hang in there and let us know if there is anything we can do to help!

Big hugs!

Erin,

Hi! Thanks for your response and also for the suggestion for the hair loss! I will definitely try it. I'm sure you can relate, since being diagnosed with MG (2years) I feel like I have no control over my body and I used to be VERY active. One of the things I have always been blessed with is great hair, not to sound to full of myself. I have terrible nails. Anyway, seeing my hair fall out in clumps and realizing my pony tail is half the size it used to be is so stressful. I am trying Biotin, but just started and realize it will take several months. Sorry to ramble, but having MG we all have a common bond. Thanks SO much for your help. I am very glad that your Lupus scare was negative.
