I understand...
Quote From: ssprestonI never knew that there was a name for the way I feel. I am a 29 year old woman who has spent the last 5 years staying in my home arguing with my husband about not even leaving to go get food for the house. I have excessive hair growth on my face and other parts of my body. I have to shave everyday or I would look like a monkey. It takes me so long to get ready, that it takes everything I have to just do it. By 5 pm I have 5 0'clock shadow. This makes me feel less of a woman that I find it becoming more of a burden on me than it has ever before. I hate the way that I look. I thought that I could deal with it as I get older, but I am finding that this hair problem in control of me. I also am 29 and have excessive hair growth in areas I feel a woman should never have hair. It makes me feel ugly, and very un-feminine. I hate having more body hair than my husband! After going to the doctor a few years ago, and mustering up the courage to talk about it, I was told that this can be a symptom of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Please go to a doctor if you can, a reproductive endocrinologist is even better. Good luck to you!
