iv been told that my leg hair and underarm hair not growing back is hormonal and not to worry, i am 55 more than likely been or going thru the menopause [had an hyesterectomey] so dont no excatly. 

if this is the reason why? i thought women got hairer after the menopause not that i am complaining  its a god send not to have to shave my legs and underarms twice aweek to avoid looking like a yetty .

i just dont understand , i also have FIBROMYALGIA & ASPERGERS BUT I CANT SEE A LINK THERE . anyone know anything about this .would love some info so i can understand whats going on ,THANKS .

permently. 

my pain is all over to the only place that dosent hurt is my forehead ,

When I first got ill with ME my hair was falling out, and I lost hair on my legs, well all over my body. My finger nails were very weak. Found out I had mercury poisoning from my fillings. I had them taken out and replaced with white ones. My hair gradually grew back and my nails are very strong now.

Might not be the same case with you but I thought I'd say it in case it rings a bell with anyone. If it does and you want your fillings removed you should go to a mercury free dentist.

Any kind of changes in Hair growth r related to harmones. U better consult any endocrinologist who may recommend you to have a mri of ur brain or any other blood test based on ur history past medical records.

Actually harmones are made by our pituitary gland which is at the base of our brain. Harmonal problem is mainly due to problems in pituitary gland.

So u better consult gp or endocrinologist.

All the best.

i dont think this is  the case hun although they obvisously dont help .

i am hoping one day to be able to afford to have the m removed and replaced .my head hair  is in good shinny wavey and no bold patches 

and i dont loose more then about 20/30 hairs aday . 

and my nails are very hard .

Yes you will have to force gp to take u seriously. Ive gone through all finally daignosed with 2 microadenomas in my pit gland after mri.

May be same not happen with u but prevention is better than cure.

Take care
