How ironic

[Pinkpeony]

I spent my teens and twenties plucking my eyebrows to oblivion.

Now thanks to hypo , I have lost a third of the little beggars !

How ironic !

What do they say ,you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

PP, I've suffered hairloss from my head and body but not my eyebrows which look like Denis Healy's unless they are plucked and trimmed regularly. Can't say I'm thrilled about the hair which sprouts from my chin either

Haha Clutter

Good job we can still have a laugh

What about nose hair? I have one of those nose hair trimmers..... zimm zimm zimmm....

I'd make a great bag lady if I stopped paying appropriate attention to the chin hairs.

The head hair is growing back, finally, since 1996. Thought it could never happen. I'm putting a bit of coconut and jojoba oil in the ends and they are stripey silvery curls. (yeah, I quit the dye jobs. I have stripey hair and as far as most people, including myself, it looks way better this way.) I've never had curls before. Looking like some cross pollinated human. At the West Indian hair stuff supply store the St. Lucian dude asked me how much black do I have in me. OMG> LOL! I have a PINK complexion. Truly pink. I was considering buying extensions. That would really go over big at work.

I thought I'd look like an old witch if I went natural but I actually don't. And since the bottom few inches are curling, I can forgo a haircut for a while. Just when my shoulder strap of my handbag traps the hair under it, there's the annoyance factor.

I'm checking how many hairs come out when I brush and it's minimal. Not like when Queen Endo had me on a hypo dose and I could watch a wig's worth go down the bath tub drain... and clog it.... There's really not many things in life that are so disgusting as yanking a ponytail out of the plughole.

OMG gabkad you have had us rolling with laughter .

It's a typical November day here , dark wet and miserable , but you have cheered me up no end!

You must post a pic of your stripy curls , are you sure it's just hair stuff you buy from the St Lucian dude?

I have just had my hair colour done by my lovely hubby (the girl who cuts my hair keeps offering him a job) lol

I'm not a bottle blonde, it comes in a box.

Because I'm worth it as they say on the t.v.

Thanks again and take care

Gabkad, no nose hair or ears hair...yet. Hair stopped clogging the drains in May/June but started again in Oct after I overmedicated T3 during the summer. I don't count the hairs in my brush...I weight it

[gabkad in reply to Clutter]

Just in case we end up on the wrong dose we need a wig collection like Dolly Parton......

I have lost most of my body hair but thankfully not from my head. But all my eyebrows have now vanished and my eyelashes are swiftly following!

[Pinkpeony in reply to PennyR]

Goodness Penny , that's awful , my hair has thinned and outer third of eye brows has vanished.

I am supposed to be stable on Levo, but am having a fight to raise vitamin levels as they were through the floor.

I wish you well
