As I was dust busting the bathroom floor this morning to clean up the hair I am noticing ( not major but noticable on the floor and in the shower)' I thought how great it would be if we lost the hair on our legs too!!!!!

I have (had?) PCOS and therefore have a lot of coarse hair on my upper lip and chin and neck. Lovely, I know.

Since surgery, my symptoms have disappeared (rny is supposed to cure pcos as it does diabetes, they are similar). Except for my facial hair! Still as bad as ever. Boo!!!

That is an awesome thought. So wish my leg hair would disappear. I am scared to death of losing my hair. I don't have that much to begin with. I started biotin today hoping it will help. Thanks for the chuckle.
