Kristen - much as I would like to tell you that everything's OK, I
can't, but I won't tell you to panic, either.
I would keep and eye on the hair loss. This is not a normal pattern
and the loss of the guard hairs, sounds like adrenal disease, but I would want
to watch for another few weeks and see if it progresses.
