Going Gray from Mono???

I know getting gray hairs in my mid-30's is nothing unusual, but I swear most of them have sprouted since the mono hit me in October.

I had a few before, but now they are showing up by the dozens.

I know gray hairs can be related to stress, especially stress on the thyroid. Additionally, a practitioner of Chinese medicine informed me that insufficient kidney Qi can cause premature graying.

Obviously this symptom pales in comparison to all the others caused by this virus, haha, but has anybody else experienced this?

    I haven’t seen any, but nothing would surprise me at this point! Hope you are doing okay.
