    Hi Gerbear, I can't remember if I said this in the other thread but i am experiencing more hairloss than usual. I am having to clean out my hairbrush every couple of days. I know hairloss from stress happens so i put it down to that as I've been quite stressed and anxious during this illness.

    Hey Gerbear don't worry. Stay positive if you are loosing your hairs that might be because of that fever. If you feel something more than this go for consultation.

      Dermatologist has me using prescription shampoo and daily ointment. I am seeing improvement--have stopped losing hair now. Doctor has assured me that the bald spots will fill in.  Sooooo thankful!!!!!

      Not exactly a yeast infection--they are treating my scalp like it is a fungal infection.  No one knows if it is mono related or not.
