Why Do Eyelashes Fall Of A Fibromyalgia Patient?
I am a 59 year old female and in the last couple of months my eyelashes have started falling out, sections at a time. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago, but manage it very well. The only medication I take it something to help me sleep, and have taken the same medication for years. I do take a vitamin and calcium daily. I am active and feel absolutely fine.

Fibromyalgia is not related to fall of eye lashes. Might be having blepharitis or other infection. Eye lid margin need cleaning with sterile warm swab. Apply neosporine eye ointment in lid margin. Look for dandruff in lid, eye brow and scalp. if detected treat with nizral solution. Take evion capsule one daily
