I am losing the hair on my back from TX, very distraught!


The hair on my back seems to be thinning quite heavily from TX. It was hard to take this pic this morning but I have really long arms and wanted to see what you thought. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this? Will it ever come back?

My goodness...I find this so sad.  It seems when tx gets us down, there's always an extra kick.  How do we survive???

I must say when I was on tx, my back hair was the first thing to go.  I did try the eyebrow fix, but it just didn't work for me.  I know eyebrows aren't easy to discuss, but I just wanted to let everyone know they're not alone.  Let's face it....eyebrows happen.

Hubby and I decided to think outside the box on this one.  As a show of solidarity...he shaved his back...totally bald!!!!!!.  I was floored that he would do that for me.  It really brought us to a different level.

Gotta say...1 year post tx...we still have our special back shaving date on Friday nights. Things couldn't be better.  

Try something new.  Keep it fresh.

For the record, when my back hair starts to grow in...it's totally different.  Straight and gray!!!  If not for shaving, I'd now be a Silverback!!!

Good luck to you and the wife.  We're all here for you.

"it was really hard to get back into leg shaving."

Was this because of a lack of female razors sold in west Texas? It's hard to find a gun rack here.

spectda - yeah, that too, but believe me, at 62, the effect is not nearly so stimulateing

Also  Spectda - yes watch out for those nose hairs - and I will tell you another thing - those little twirly things don't work worth a dam

Since tx I have noticed 2 hairs that grow from the tip of my nose.
I pluck them but they seem to grow back over night.
I will start saving them for you incase you need some seedlings.
