*****eeek!!!!! i have hated my belly hair for a long time... and now it seems to be spreading to above the belly button, not just below it, and the little trail below the belly button is getting Wider. ack!!! i hate this. i am getting electrolysis, luckily as of yet i have no facial hair. i think i would be suicidal if that happened to me. i admire anyone here that copes with facial hair. poor things!!! this is a horrible disease, isn't it??
