Alyssa Milano describes lingering hair loss and brain fog following COVID-19 battle

Former child star Alyssa Milano will give fans an update this Friday on the lingering symptoms, like hair loss and brain fog, from her two-month battle with the coronavirus in March-April.

‘It’s hard, especially when you’re an actor,’ the Brooklyn-born 47-year-old says on The Dr. Oz Show.

‘So much of your identity is wrapped up in those things, like having long silky hair and clean skin. Along with that also, I have the brain fog.    

Airing this Friday! Former child star Alyssa Milano will give fans an update on the lingering symptoms, like hair loss and brain fog, from her two-month battle with the coronavirus in March-April

‘Which, again, as an actress, as someone who has to memorize dialogue and be able to emote, and respond, and be on my toes, it’s frightening.’

Alyssa also recalls the ‘terrifying symptom’ that prompted her to check into the hospital near her $2.5M Bell Canyon home in Simi Valley.

‘It settled in my lungs and that’s when it got really scary,’ Milano – who shed 9lbs in two weeks – remembered. 

‘I said, “This is the moment. Do I go to the hospital, do I go to the emergency room or do I stay home?”‘

The talk show preview also teased that the Project Runway All Stars host ‘has a message for President Donald Trump.’

Back on August 5, Alyssa wrote that her COVID-19 battle left her with ‘vertigo, stomach abnormalities, irregular periods, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, zero short term memory, and general malaise.’ 

Luckily, Milano had her second husband of 11 years David Bugliari to help support her through her health scare.
