Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Oh My Gosh, I didn't know loss of leg hair was part of CMT. I haven't had to shave my legs in I don't know how long. Thanks for the info. Debbie Quote
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 I've noticed this as well. Wonder if it is because of the muscle atrophy, maybe fewer blood vessels to promote hair growth (or whatever it is that promotes hair growth)? I definitely have noticed that as my CMT progresses with further muscle atrophy, I have to shave my legs less often. I think there is a direct correlation and I don't think it's just due to growing older. I started noticing less hair in my early 30s. Quote
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Boy, do I wish the hair regrowth on my soon to be 54 yr old legs would slow down! I personally don't think hair growth has any relation to CMT. It's genetic.I also have enough hair on top of my head for 2 people no matter how short I wear it.I have to get it cut every 6 weeks to stay styled.This I inherited from my non CMT mom. Just my 2 cents worth here. I'd also like to wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July. Barb Fl. Quote
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Gretchen, that is what I was afraid you were going to say, getting old stinks! It's just odd, the hair loss came along during the neuropathy (crap). Anyway,thanks for the info and Have A Great Fourth! Debbie Quote
