The doctor says, "well, any dermatologist will tell you that stress can cause alopecia..." I checked online, and found that there's something called (don't quote my spelling, it's from rotten memory) telogenic effluvium or something like that, where hair starts falling out all over the head from stess. The articles said it wasn't medically significant, and usually the hair grows back. I'm waiting...
Hey racer !Yes, my mom went through this decades ago, when her mom was starting to fall apart. For her, it did grow back. The dermatologist had her on Rogain, so you might try that.
