Thanks Barbara for your input

Laurie, the funny thing is I have always been sooooooo hairy that I get my

legs waxed every 4 weeks, was considering laser.....guess not now.

Cindy, I think the general concensus is to get my thyroid checked. I have an

MD appoint next week will let you know. Others have suggested hormonal

imbalance as well as Selinium ......sounds like a lot of blood work to me and

prob a

visit to an endocrinologist (one more Doc for my list) LOL

That is the downfall for me. I went 5 years without having to shave my

legs. I guess we can't have everything.

Martha,

I haven't been following this thread too thoroughly but I was wondering if

you've been checked for a thyroid deficiency. I have a thyroid issue and have

lost hair several times in my life. My hair is so thin at times I feel bald and

when I look in the mirror straight on I tell myself I look like a bald eagle.

LOL

Anyway, just a thought.

My endocrinologist always checks for axillary (armpit) hair loss, as

it seems to be indicative of endocrine issues. I'd mention it to a

doctor if you get a chance, preferably an endocrinologist...

Although I don't know if I'd complain if I lost all of my hair except

that on my head

Take care,
