Hi!
Sweetie, if I did what you did I'd look like a DUDE!! You are brave! I
totally understand what you're saying. I have THICK hair on my chin,
some on my cheeks, side burn hair and neck hair. I swear, I bet I have
more than my husband!! I hear what you're saying about someday possibly
becoming incapacitated. I don't dwell on this for obvious reasons but
I've had a flashing thought of leaving my sister a couple of hundreds in
an envelope and leaving a note asking her -- begging her to shave me
everyday! I'm soooo nutty! Anyway, I'm trying to have fun with a very
serious subject. I feel your pain. You are not a freak (though
sometimes I worry about myself) and you are not the only one going
through this -- MANY of us are! As you can see from our posts in the
past week, many of us are doing everything that we can to remove the
hair so that we look socially acceptable. You started Spiro. Good. I
hope it helps you. Keep in mind that it might take months before you
notice any difference and it may very well not help much with the hair
you already have but it should help you with additional hair growth. I
just started Spiro about two months ago. I haven't noticed any
difference yet. I've heard good things in past few days on this forum
about Vaniqa. Maybe you could look into that? I'm going to. God bless!
I'm with you heart to heart! Tera
