Lia, eyebrow loss is a typical sign of underactive thyroid, though I believe SS in general will do it. When I was young I had a single thick, jet-black eyebrow all across my face - like that famous female Mexican artist I can't mention or I'll get taken down! I was constantly plucking at the middle so at least I could separate them into two, but it was a thankless task. Then they virtually disappeared as SS and the resulting hypothyroidism took hold. Sometimes I feel I'd quite like my big eyebrow back!
I get round it by brushing them on with a dark-grey eye-shadow. I find this gives a more natural look than a brown eyebrow pencil, which tends to look ginger against my colouring (mixture of grey/dark-brown hair with pale, yellow-toned complexion). If you choose a good brand, it should stay on all day - as long as you remember not to touch your brows and to check yourself in a mirror from time to time. There's nothing worse than looking in a mirror at lunch time after a taxing morning in the office, to find you've only got one eyebrow left!

Mine didn't. They started thinning slightly around the menopause (age 45) then upped and left more or less completely about 10 years later, after I'd started getting Sjogren's symptoms. I still have a few stray hairs, which are still black, but they grow ridiculously long - at least 2cm - and just look weird, so I pluck them out anyway. I know they'll never grow back now - I'm 72, and women tend to lose their eyebrows a bit with age anyway. However, if you're young I suppose there's a chance they might come back.
