Hi Terry -
You mention taking a B vitamin supplement and using a gentler mascara.
Maybe the B complex vit I have taken for a long time is helping me keep my eyelashes.
I also have NOT used mascara since they started falling out the first time 3 1/2 years ago. Just use some liner. This is why I am considering having them dyed, and spoke to a gal about it today, in fact. Costs $20 and one can spend that on 2 decent tubes of mascara!
