Wish I could offer the same response as prior responder...
My hair does grow back, with seemingly more density and it has developed some different charateristics. For example, I have "waves" or "cowlicks" in areas where I had concentrated pulling. I thought I was imagining it until I heard the same results from others. Seems there must be something that happens to the hair follicle (sp?) - I am told that chemo patients who lose all their hair have also developed this "change."
I'm no expert - but I'd love to hear from any other sufferers. Particularly about which (if any meds) have helped reduce pulling. (YES - I've tried Prozac, Luvox, behavior modification, therapy, support groups, yada, yada, yada - even wearing mittens...)
Anybody out there???
