Re: I am dealing with this too!!!

Well, it's kind of a relief that I dont feel alone in this. I have low estrogen levels and high steroid, so that might be why I have what i have. I dont feel feminine either and never really have. I cannot explain it, but people treat me more like I'm neither sex. Neutral almost, as though they sense that I dont feel male as such but nor do I feel feminine.

I dont like being this way, I'd really like to feel what i am! But whatever imbalance there is, I just dont. I also notice my voice sometimes changes. I can get a deeper voice on occassion and then it lightens again, so really that is another weird thing that is going on. Luckily when it goes deeper it's not major masculine, but sometimes I sound like a little like a guy.

So my body hair is hardly surprising I suppose. It is awful trying to find ways of getting rid of it only to sometimes end up with other problems as a result. But anythign to get rid of the hair! I think whatever works for you, I'd repeat it again.

Yes the hair on the nipples I think I got around the same age as yourself, about 14 or so. It wasn't as bad at first but got worse later. It's awful when you have a humiliating experience to tell you that it is not normal! But I have actually heard quite a few women have this, so I felt a little better knowing that.

Certainly until there is some permanent remedy for this, it is something that one has to live with and try and work around as much as possible. It is hard to accept, but I sure am not accepting the hair growth! I will not allow it to take over and go natural. I fight it all the time and will continue to. Many times I have not been able to wear t shirts etc because I have not taken the hair off my arms due to my illness (I have a sickness to deal with). I get very tired and often it is an effort just to wash, but to remove all this hair? I get to the point where I become quite overwhelmed. So often throughout summer, I'll be seen wearing long sleeved tops all the time and people wonder why.....I am trying now in Winter (here) to use my epilady to weaken the growth so hopefully it saves me from having to remove it as much. It hurts like crazy, but I am quite determined. I use it now on face, arms and legs. Tweet
