This may come across as a strange question , but here goes . The hair on my left leg (RSD spread from LUE to chest , abdomen and LLE) is very coarse . The hair is very short , but very wiry with like little barbs . The problem I am running into is the hair is shredding my sheets on the bed after a short period of time . I have put down a comforter on top of the sheets , but it is taking a beating and will need replacing before long . The leg is sensitive so long pant pajama bottoms are out of the question , or should I say I haven't found any I can tolerate . And yes I am a male , so shaving is not an option as the other leg looks perfectly fine , hair and all LOL . I realize this is sort of a strange topic , but wanted to see if anyone else had any suggestions or this problem themselves and how they deal with it . Take care !!!

I have nooooo idea what to say. Except that sucks!!! best of luck to you and your sheets!!! I cant even think of ANYTHING that could fix that, except buying new sheets all the time!!! Good Luck!!!

The only thing that comes to mind, and may sound goofy, is to apply hair conditioner on your legs, let stand for 5 minutes and rinse. It may soften the hair and not be so rigid.

I have the same problem. The hair is very coarse and sharp. I am female, so I have options. Same place, left leg. My nails on the left side have become quite hard and rigid also. Just another perk for us RSD sufferers.

I did not have this with hair but did with my skin. Not just dry but shedding off. I never had skin problems pre rsd. The skin has gotten a lot better though I still have flares. Though I feel it was from rsd cause I see connections in flares sometimes anyhow I did go to the dermatologist who rx some meds and it did help to a degree. Now I manage it with lotions mostly. Though it is from RSD have you thought of seeing a dermatologst? Maybe they have seen similar in non rsd patients but the treatment may help you. Hopefully maybe your dermatologist will know about rsd though if you go. Sorry I wish I had more answers. The body with rsd does some odd things that before I faced them would of never thought of. Feel better
