Following my post the other day I decided that telling my sister about the lack of any urge to pull my eyelashes wouldn't cause a big disastrous set back. Her response "maybe because you've been having a lot more sex lately?" Needless to say, it did get me thinking.....
Looking back on the past 9 months or so it really does seem that the more sex I am having the better I tend to do with trich. Maybe it's because when I'm seeing someone my personal life at least feels pretty good but I'm not sure that would be the explanation since I'm also pretty happy being single (and happen to be one of those people that LOVES alone time and having independence).
The last year or two I've noticed that the rumor about your sex drive improving as you hit 30 might really be true. For a long time I wasn't a very sexual person, it would end up being more of relationship "maintenance" then something I really enjoyed. That's definitely changed. So that brings me to the question of whether as you age and your hormones change it can be easier to battle trich? I'm not really sure but it something I definitely plan on looking into a bit more. Maybe its also the combination of sex, sleep, and exercise? Now I'm just throwing ideas out there (and I will just note here that even two months ago, when i was regularly having sex, I was still struggling with trich so at this point its just a general, albeit personal, observation).
Anyway, that's my random thought of the day and when I have some downtime I will do some research and post whatever I can come up with.
On another note, today marks 4 weeks of no smoking! Yay! Definitely feeling SO much better and I have also been sticking to all my regular goals of getting more (and better) sleep, exercising more regularly, sticking to a night time face washing regime, etc. Now its time to think of my goals for the next month! (and I'm finding that setting monthly goals as opposed to long term ones with no definitive end is really helping me stick to them). :)

hmm.. very, very interesting post. It really makes me wonder too. I might have to do my own little experiment and find out for myself. It makes sense that it would have a positive effect. Congrats on your four week mark! Awesome!
