I found this research interesting. I wonder if it could contribute to fibromyalgia? Not necessarily a cause, but contribute. I personally don't absorb oral medication very at all (even long before I had Crohn's), and it takes a lot of sedation for surgeries to keep me under and IV pain medication to get pain under control.

Nope, was a blond before I turned a salt and pepper gray early. My first gray hairs was at 17.

Reddish-brown. I was a true red-gold-auburn as a kid until my mid-20s, and now it varies from red to brown.

Born dark brunette! But as I've gotten older, my hair is lighter and has a reddish tint. Plus my eyes are green-blue, I burn like crazy, and I have freckles everywhere!!! I am of the opinion that, due to my eyes and complexion, I should definitely have been born a redhead!! tongue

Once when i was recovering form a surgery, my surgeon asked this..if i was born a redhead..as i had a slow recovery and they found that in redheads..

I am a brunette, but always lots of red highlights!

Whatever, i still recover slowly from things!
