Of all the places for the hair to grow back first. I was laying on the couch the other night watching tv with the family and my son who was sitting next to me (had my legs across his lap) rubbed my leg. He got all excited and said "Mommy you need to shave those legs" We all laughed... This is the second time. The first time was about 2 weeks ago...

I never thought I would get excited about shaving my legs. LMAO

    Ha-Ha!
    On the one hand, I was happy to not have to wash and style my hair and not have to shave my legs and armpits. On the other hand, having my hair start growing back again helped to make me feel "normal".

    There is no justice in this
    There is no justice in this disease. My leg hairs were the last to give up the fight when my hair fell out and the first to grow back. I was still shaving my legs into my 4th treatment and now I practically have to shave daily.
