And, I'll add to that, I'm only 25. The symptoms have been appearing
one by one and getting worse and worse since I was 9, so no doubt
they'll continue that way - which is why I say my body isn't hairy yet!
SO many women I see here say that their symptoms got so much worse in
their 30's or 40's or after they had a child.
So much to look forward to!
