This is a good read on excess hair growth in women and some of the causes.

Thank you Soul. I actually did go to the dermatologist, and am going to do a laser treatment to remove the hairs. I can't stand them! I wish I could take off the weight as easily. In general, I do have a fear of doctors. I know it doesn't make any sense. In some weird way, I keep telling myself when I lose weight, and it won't be so embarassing to get on the scale, then I'll go. Again, I know it doesn't make sense. But I did go to the dermatologist - she doesn't weigh me.

3 yrs ago I went in for my yearly checkup and pap. I was so scared to weigh in. When i did i was at my highest ever weight of 306. My blood pressure went thru the roof. I was so upset. When my gyno came in he put me on blood pressure med. He talked to me about loosing weight and how it would help my blood pressure. I went to my reg med dr the next day and my blood presure was still high but no where near as high..............i still think it was the number on the scale that sent my blood pressure so high.LOL
I am actually finished with TOM and spotting a few days after doing nothing..this is going to be an interesting few years.
