Post COVID hair loss: Will it grow back?

Thanks to all for adding to the info. I am on Nutrafol and topical Minoxidil, have tried washing my hair
every day rather than every other day and counting lost hairs that fall into a drain "strainer" . I am definitely
losing less hair, but I HAVE less hair to lose. My very thick hair is now particularly "patchy" on top. I run a
constant fever anywhere between 98.9 and 99.9 and very occasionally 100. There are no fever free days.
My hair loss seems to correspond to my temp. That all makes sense as it is in keeping with the inflammation that occurs with longCovid. I am also very autoimmune, 81 years old; so it seems to me there are many contributing
factors.

I agree that it involves many factors. I’ve had hair loss after childbirth, and after surgeries.
Now, hair loss after Covid. For some of us, hair loss is part of getting over stress I guess.

What’s different this time is that my hair is much different as it comes back in. I’ve heard others say that after cancer and cancer treatment their hair was not the same as it had been.
For me, I still have enough hair that I am not using treatments to grow more hair. Interestingly....and disturbing really, is that I’m growing more hair on my FACE! What the heck?
Just one more insult to injury that I am experiencing with this crazy disease.
