Yet another thing about #SevereME that I really hate: I no longer have the energy to shave my legs. Had I been lucky enough to have leg hairs that match the naturally blonde colour of my hair, this wouldn’t bother me (I dont’ care about the parts of my thighs that do have blonde hairs), but unfortunately most of my legs are covered in quite dark, rather long hairs.

Hubby shaves them for me, of course, but even that costs me energy. I know it sounds strange that simply lying on the couch with a razor being applied by someone else is exhausting, but for me (for ME) it is. Any sensory stimulus sucks energy from my body, and being shaved involves touch, sound, and vision all at once. Closing my eyes helps a bit, but that still leaves touch and sound quite on (ear plugs don’t help for sound that can so easily travel through one’s body).

So, here I am; hairy-legged and frustrated, which *also* sucks energy from my body like a very large leech. Yuck!
