I am a 27 year old married woman. I have no kids, unless you count my two dogs.  The reason that I am writing is because I am over weight and excessessive hair growth.  I can handle the weight, I can't handle the hair growth.  The hair on my face is so bad that I have to shave every day.  Just like men by five o'clock I have the 5 o'clock shawdow and stubble.  My breast, arms, and belly  is no stranger to the hair.  I also shave them.  because of the shaving I take longer to get ready.  I can't just get up and go, I can't even wait till afternoon to get a bath if I wanted to.  I still carry on with my daily life demands, but it is getting harder to deal with.  I don't like my husband touching me, because I fear he will notice my hair stubble.  I get red irritated skin, shave burns abd bumps. I cut my face just like a man might do.  ALL this is causing me to be a home body.  I try telling myself that I am okay with it and to go on with things, but in all I really need help to fix this.  If not I am afraid that it will change who I am and what I do with my life.  I haven't the money or the medical insurance to fix this problem.  I have tried lotions and over the counter items to fix hair growth. I mostly got burned from them. I hopeing that by talking about this I can find ways to help myself.  

I 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.
