Diane, I think I may be your twin! This same thing has been happening to me for over three years and no doctor seems to have the sympathy needed to treat the problem! I recently went to my GP and begged him for Xalantan, a proven remedy, but his preferred course of action was to put me on an anti-depressant! What he DIDN\'T understand was that the loss of eyelashes is what\'s MAKING me depressed! He also told me to see a dermatologist, which will take me 6 more weeks to get an appointment! Have they NO CLUE how many lashes can be shed in 6 weeks? I have looked everywhere to get Xalantan and have even considered the black market! LOL.... Anyway, feel free to write me (LLD1724@hotmail.com) for sympathy and support...This has truly taken it\'s toll on my self-esteem...Perhaps a female doctor would be more understanding to the situation? What do you think?
