I currently have been thinking of going vegan,although my family are huge meat eaters this may be difficult.I have a suspicison that all of the hormone induced pigs and cows arent helping and probably add fuel to the fire.Although this might not be a wise choice for everyone.I think it is wonderful that you are posting your treatments it is fascinating to read everyones diary and I hope to do the same soon.You seem very positive about all of this and I also think that will bring you to your desired goals quicker.Keep up your great attitude it is very encouraging for all of us.

If you have not read it in some other place here, I recommend you read "The Diet Cure" by Julia Ross. It has a whole section on PCOS, and other hormonal reactions that lead to such problems like unwanted hair growth.

James,
I got that book from ebay after I joined hairtell, but have yet to read it. I will certainly read the pcos chapter right away!
I talked with a natural doctor who mentioned accupuncture, but I'm thinking if I'm already paying for the electrolysis needle puncturing me thousands of times, why would I go pay someone else to puncture me in a different place? lol
For the past couple of years, my hubby and I have been trying to eat a consistent diet of whole organic foods, including natural and organic meats, veggies, fruits and dairy when possible. I avoid sodas and drink tons of water and unsweetened green tea. I know I should exercise more, and I am working towards that as well. And I do not eat pork or other processed meats like pepperoni or lunchmeat, since it makes me ill.
I want to be hairfree, but I don't want to treat this pcos with chemicals.

You will want to try eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. You will also want to find a good source for vitamin and minerals. Drink carrot juice (homemade is best, as you can keep the fiber in as well)Flaxseed oil and Borage Oil (a full spectrum EFA oil is great.) 2 tsp daily. What ever EFA oil you choose, that should be the only oils that you ingest. Get 2,000 mg of Vitamin C and 800 IU's of dry vitamin E.

Avoid fried foods, processed sugars, caffeine alcohol, and any type of smoking or second hand smoke. Cooked Spinach and Rhubarb are to be avoided because of their high oxalic acid counts, but they are ok in their raw states.

Well, I had my 4th treatment Monday and I am feeling great! I can't believe that something that hurts so bad can make me feel so good! :} Really, what do men go thru that hurts them, like electrolysis or menstruation or childbirth??? lol
We did 84 minutes, 49 on chin/35 on upper lip, with 299 insertions on chin/221 on lip. OUCH! The upper lip hurts, but not as bad this time. So far, I have had 1777 insertions in 5 1/2 hours, for $393.88. About $1.20 a minute! Or 22 cents a hair! That really puts it into perspective! Is it worth 22 cents to never see, shave or pluck that hair again???? Yes, yes it certainly is!!!
Skin is healing wonderfully, witch hazel/aloe/ice, not too keen on the stinky tea tree oil yet, but maybe a little at bedtime....
Praise the Lord! I am pointed in the right direction and the results are amazing!

Imsom, I love your posts. They make me smile, laugh, they are full of hope

Yes, it's worth every penny. Being confident about your look and not to worry again about what people will say is priceless.

I just had my first treatment on the upper lip, and looking forward to see the great results you noticed in your 4th treatment.

We are definitely in the right direction and Good luck,

Hi Imosm:

At your rates I would be at about $17,500 so far.
I know of people who have spent upwards of $20,000.

But for me it has all been worth it too,
and we can't really put a price on happiness.

Just a note about getting makeup to cover. I use a product I ordered online from a place called colortration.com. They have small samples and you can order 6 of them for around $14. I use it when I get restylane injections to cover the bruises. The product is absolutely amazing!! You just use a tiny little bit and the stuff covers everything you want/need to hide. I highly recommend it. If for some reason I've given the wrong website, let me know and I'll find my paperwork and give you the correct site address.

Here's the website:

imsom- Hi! I have been reading your posts since you started and now i am now posting and i wanted to just let you know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Even though i don't know you i can tell you are a great person and very strong. My post is under "here's my story", I am also having electro on my face (cheeks and chin right now and sideburns and jaw line will be next when we are making major progress on what we are working on now). I dont have coarse hairs but they are medium thickness and long and it's amazing and horrible long blond hairs can look when they are everywherer! i just wanted to let you know i was thinking about you and i am so glad that everything is going so well for you with the electro!
