Well here's a (not very) funny thing.
I had developed a nasty rash on my cheeks and forehead, so wasn't wearing any make up while I let it calm down. On Saturday, my son stared at me and went "Ha ha - you haven't got any eyebrows!" On closer inspection, I realised that I only have the middle third of each eyebrow left, the rest has gone.
Because my brows were quite fair, and I don't wear my glasses to put my make up on, I hadn't noticed them go, but merrily pencilled along the line where I thought they should be.
A swift Google reveals that this is called the Sign of Hertoghe or Queen Anne syndrome and is a sign of hypothyroidism. Which also explains the weight loss, the mad periods, the tiredness... everything really. Sigh.
Off to see the GP tomorrow.

oo, er good luck with the doc. x
Hopefully your GP will have answer for you, well eventually after all the blood tests and messing around. (Do I sound bitter?)
Seriously, I hope it all gets sorted asap. You can't have your son taking the 'p'. :-)
I hope trip to docs goes well and that they can sort this out fairly quickly. but at least that will explain the symptoms you mention!
I have just checked yesterdays link to looking glam for cleaning and feeling decidedly dowdy!!
Ha ha - I still have eyebrows! Although I doubt they would be the first thing someone would notice! ;P
Care for the Caregiver... we are all intending you get some proper things to bring this part of you back under control... "curious and curiouser," said Alice...
Hugs. I'm pretty sure that's one of those things that is easy to get under control. Good luck with the GP.
