Eyelashes falling out?

Hi,

Does anyone with SLE and/or Sjorgren’s have issues with their eyelashes falling out?

I have SLE and Pernicious Anemia and I am starting to suspect Sjorgren’s and my eyelashes are falling out. I am not sure if this is an SLE issue, Sjorgren’s or something else completely?

Thank you

I have SLE. My eyelashes and nose hairs shed when I flare. My eyebrows have thinned a bit as well.

I shed eyelashes a fair amount but can't be sure if its the sjogrens and lupus or not.

I have SLE and Sjogrens and have lost all of my eyelashes. No doctor has been able to explain why or offer a treatment that works. I’ve tried latisse but didn’t have any luck getting them back.

Hi Spandau, I have SLE, Sjogrens and suffer with Blepharitis. When I'm in a blepharitis flare my eyelashes will fall out. I clean the eyelashes meticulously with blepaclean sterile wipes from under the eyelash. Not using the same part of the wipe on both eyes. Eyelashes do eventually grow back. If you've no symptoms of Blepharitis fraid I've no clue what's causing you the problem but wish you luck in finding the cause and cure.

Not necessarily eye lashes, but eye brows. I have literally lost all body hair from shoulders down to toes.
