Has anyone else found that the hair on there legs is sparse since being ill. I find now that my leg hair from middle of calf down is gone. My doctor said maybe from socks rubbing but I am at home and am not in socks often. I was thinking it may have something to do with the blood flow in these diseases as my legs go dark colored and spotty looking. Anyone else had this happen?

Maybe has something to do with the blood flow which I know in my case it does not work the same as my legs also get cold or purple spotty looking.Maybe the only benefit of this illness. Although I give anything to be healthy and have my hairy legs back:-?
