Body Hair Changes & Some Progress Maybe?

[Sallybones]

Hi all haven't posted for a while but kept up others. This is a bit of a strange one but I haven't found any similar on this site about it so here goes.

Since starting self injecting about 2 months ago and still playing around with the frequency I have noticed a few subtle physical changes with my body. It may be a coincidence of course but my armpit hair of which I've had none for several years has started to grow albeit very slowly and wispy and dare I say my pubic hair which had gone horribly coarse sparse and greying is suddenly back to brown and soft. The other thing is I don't get the awful screaming cramps I used to get when I stretch especially when I wake in the night or morning. Energy levels vary much and I quickly tire still.

I wondered if anyone else had experienced similar things with body hair. My head hair did thin a little but not a lot, although it was fully silver grey by the age of 50 and had my first grey ones at 17.

I hope my subject doesn't offend anyone but it's just so good to see something, anything happening at long last after many years of poor health.

Love to all Sallyb

Not noticed any differences with body hair but some of my grey head hair is growing in dark again. (Sadly not all of it! ) Dark at both the roots and ends but light in the middle bit!

Hi taka thanks for replying. Isn't it strange what happens. Do post again if any other changes. Wonder what happened to the middle bit!!

One of the symptoms of B12 deficiency is premature greying so I guess the melanocytes cells in my hair follicles were struggling a bit just like the rest of me! My hair is pretty long so it looks like there was a few years worth of grey... (I normally use a dark redish semipermenant dye and have very dark hair so you can still see the difference in shades especially when the dye has faded a bit and needs redoing.)

Interestingly, before being diagnosed, in a really short time frame my hair went white, starting from the front and moving backwards. After my jabs, I realised it had stopped losing colour, leaving me with a white front and dark back. At first I hoped it would regrow, but to be honest I quite like it now.. We keep learning more and more about the things this B12d does to us!

Hya Baggy8 you've got a unique look all of your own. It actually sounds rather nice. Do post if any changes won't you.

Hi there,

You're not alone! I lost all my pubic/arm pit hair for 5 years, & was totally stunned to discover that after only loading doses, & 2 following injections, my 'body hair' began returning!

I now self inject, & no longer have the same frequency of horrific cramping in my feet.

So, glad you brought this subject up 😊

Kind Regards

AK

Hya AnnaKatrina that's so reassuring to know I'm not alone. I put sparse body hair down to age / menopause but it acutally disappeared long before that so I always wondered. It's wonderful the cramps have gone as I used to really fear stretching which made me more tense.

I'm so glad you did. this is something I have worried about for ages and wasn't sure of public and underarm hair stooped due to age or deficiency . so glad to hear your story ☺. looking forward to some regrowth when I go back onto si when my order comes through. x
