anybody else after tx start to get dark hair

under gray hair?..i'm going on two months post triple tx and tonight i noticed dark hair in my mustache coming in under the gray..just some here and there.....i wonder if it will keep coming in...about 15 years ago my mustache started turning gray... for years anywhere i had gray hair would go from gray to brown and back from brown to gray....then about 5 years ago it went gray and stayed gray....now a couple months after tx new dark hairs...........billy

During my first tx, I recall people posting about hair growing in differently after treatment, i.e. straight hair coming in curly.

that would be so cool if my hair turned back to it's natural color...I started turning gray when I was about 21 or 22...I have paid my share of income to the hair dye companies...it's nice to see some of the good side effects of treatment being posted....along with the obvious of getting rid of the Hep C....

Now this gives me hope, when they told me my hair would probally fall out, I thought to myself hopefully only the gray one's fall out but that wasn't the case, I have lost about 40% of my hair and ended up just shaving it off, if it grows back dark wow what a bonus.

hows the hair everywhere else?...  Maybe there is a cure of gray hair in this somewhere.   I have stopped coloring my hair while on treatment and I do not have as much gray as I thought I would. Im going to let it go for a while a see what happens.  .....It has now just stopped falling out nearly as much.
