Question for the group at large

May 25, 2003

Hi Everybody,

In telling one of my girlfriends about what is going on with me health-wise,

it turns out that another friend of hers has Graves' Disease as well and is

really struggling with the whole thing. As far as my girlfriend knows, her other

friend doesn't have any support or help with a group like this and is very

depressed right now, especially over the fact of her increasing hair loss. I'm

going to try and call this gal tonight, and encourage her that she can stay on

top of this disease and even conquer it, and try to get her to join this yahoo

group. My girlfriend really wanted me to ask all of you if there was anything

that any of you have found to help slow down, retard, even reverse this hair

loss symptom of Graves' Disease. I'm afraid I don't have any info about what

treatment this other lady has received to date, or where she is in the

progression or remission of Graves'. And I realize that given some of the other

far

more serious effects this disease can have on our bodies, it might even sound

like a silly or inconsequential question; but my girlfriend says this gal is

really hurting over this. Any advice or help you can offer I will pass onto her

as soon as I speak to her. Thanking you all deeply in advance......

, what wonderful news. Thanks for sharing it.

My hair is slowly growing back now. Well I think it is. I still have some

bald spots though.

In my case, when I would towel dry my hair, so much hair was in my towel

that I had to go outside and shake it out. The drain didn't like it either.

Plugged one up.

Happy Memorial Day.
