How Is It Possible?

I, like many ladies with PCOS, give myself a routine extra hair check before I leave for work in the morning. Then I give myself a long long shaving, plucking, waxing regime about 1x a week.

Anyway, I checked myself yesterday morning, plucked a few and was clear. Yesterday evening I was in front of the mirror and I noticed a hair that was more than a 1/2 inch long! It had sprung up in less than 12 hours!!!!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IT MAKES ME SO MAD!

How can I lose a handful of head-hair, and only grow chin hair (so quickly too)? How can I watch what I eat and gain 4.4 lbs in a week? THIS PCOS THING IS REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!

That sudden half inch long thing has happened to me a couple of times! It's diabolical!

The weirdest was about ten years ago when I found a hair on my forearm that was like three inches long! Totally out of nowhere. Such insanity. Glad that didn't happen again.

And now, the occasional raving wild eyebrow hair! But, that's inherited from my Dad. Family trait.

I once looked in the mirror and on my chest was an incredibly long back hair.. I swear I look at my chest all the time, and I have NEVER seen a hair like that growing there. I plucked it, and it's been like, 3 months and I haven't seen once since. The other night I was scratching my back, and I found a like, 3 inch long hair there! It was like my head hairs, not dark, but it was INCREDIBLY long. How does it do that?? I guess it's just one of those random things.
