oddly enough the more i thought about this i think she was put on high doses of tetracycline, an antibioitc. since she was on high doses i think it made her feel ill somewhat. i believe she took it for some months...not sure but it wasn't a short time i know. i'd suggest you google it and see if anything pops up. i know one of the side effects was she lost quite a bit of hair but she never had to wear a wig or anything. she continued to work also...at the time it was a new approach to this prob.and some docs said it was not a good approach but it was proven to work. she had facial scars from her acne, etc. and was willing to do whatever worked. it did. let me know if you find out on google and meantime i'm gonna check too. sorry i don't know where she lives anymore or i'd give her a call for u. i'll check back here to see if either of us find out the info.
