Gray hair and stress..myth?

I would say TRUE! I have a driving license photo taken of me in 1992. In 1993 I renewed my Passport, while in extreme pain, loosing weight and waiting to be admitted to Hospital, what for was unclear. Now the driving license photo I had no grey hair. 12 months later I was almost grey, due to the stress of trying to figure out what to do about the pain, I lost three stone in four months and was seriously ill. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and was in a serious flare for five months prior to be admitted to Hospital, it was Hades. So I think stress plays a big role. Good Luck
