you most likely do have a thyroid problem. One of the symptoms of Hypo thyroidism is loss of outer eyebrows. That's what I experienced and luckily I found a doctor that treated my symptoms rather than my test numbers. That's what you need to do asap. Do some research on the internet and find doctors that treat symptoms even if your test results show you to be normal.
Good luck
