i know how you feel. i have pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) my body produces too many male hormones which is causng the hair growth on me. have you been tested for PCOS? do you tend gain weight really easy and have irregular periods...i have to bleach my chin and jaw line every other week at least if not sooner then that and i know i can put many boys to shame. if you do have pcos you and your doctors will talk about the best way to treat it. i tryed going on the pill and that was a mess, my blood pressure sky rocketed, and the next treatmeant was diabetes meds to control my insulin whch they believe causes pcos and that gave me the shakes and weakness.. but deff get tested for pcos or anyother hormone disorders because those are the main culprts of excessive hair on women...BUT I DO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL IT MAKES SoO SELF CONSCIENCE ...im always thinking everyone can see it but in reality you notice it way more then other people ever do ...

I have PCOS and also have excess hair. After hormonal treatment it has helped a bit. Im now using a lazer hair removal system in a last attempt. I kow how embarressiing it is. My x knew all about the problem as was very understanding. i cover it up so well now my new chap hasnt noticed. i wax, shave and use makeup which really helps but ive been left with bad scars on my tummy where i plucked and started digging when i was younger to get the hairs out. No one else bar me has noticed to be honest. But i know it still plays on the mind whatever.

I have the same problem...
It's sooo awfull...
Luckily my bf understands me.. It helps me a lot..
But still I feel very bad about my condition..
Right know I'm going to doctors to find out what causes this problem..
I hope that some day I will be normal...
I really hope.. ;(

did you happen to see the csi episode on this?

No i didnt, i love CSI lol. What was the title? Ill be able to download it from bitcommet

i realize that this forum is slightly inactive now i guess. but its just so hard to go on and i have no one where i can truly relate to and talk to this about. shaving and waxing does not work for me...its been hard for me to really commit to anyone because of this.

.. i just wish i could wake up one day and all this would be solved.

sigh have u found a solution to ur problem yet?

I completely know how you ladies feel. I have a love-hate relationship with my tweezers. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on hair related rituals (plucking, picking, bleaching, etc.) not to mention the amount of money. The best solution I have found so far is to use laser treatment on small areas (like the face) because it is so expensive. I have also started taking a hormonal pill called Spironolactone. It is supposed to help but takes about 6 months to kick in, so we'll see....
The best advice I can give is to emphasize all those other beautiful parts about you (I'm sure there are many!). If you exude confidence about all of your other fabulous features, people will not give two cents about the hair. Your inner beauty will trump the hair any day. I promise.
