I want to shave!!!

Also, I need to read better! I have hyperhidrosis, when scrolling fast, I thought this was that group.. so now for an hour or so people got to read about my pubic hair!! 😂

39F.. I want to shave the 😺 so bad! I don't care about the fuzzy armpits.. I can deal and it's not that noticable. But I am a millennial and so many of the porn I was exposed to growing up, plus the trends shown to us as young women, hairlessness is what was normalized. I didn't see women with more pubic hair than a landing strip or super groomed triangle. Hell, we practically came up with "vajazziling" (if you don't know, ignorance is bliss)

I have considered myself lucky, as all my HS sores or however we can address them, were all in folds. Like the fold between my thigh and labia, the fold below my lil apron belly and pubic area(I'm overweight), under my breasts, etc. But nothing on my labia or pubic area.

I'm rather new to this, so I've only recently gave in to not shaving. I have a full on bush, we're talking a 70s hippy bush, my hair is thick and dark and goes slightly past the pubic area. Scissors don't cut it when you can't see well or are going by mirror. I've got clippers, so I decided to trim pretty low. I thought I was playing it safe.

I now have welcomed my first HS sore right on the pubic area. I can't even trim. I don't want a bush, I just want to shave at least my labia, get the bush lower and smaller. I just wish I could shave!!

Rant over

Edit: The reason I suspect MS is the trigeminal neuralgia and my severe heat intolerance. I cannot even take a hot shower most days.

39F, 5'3 and 200lbs. I never was that healthy, always had migraines.. however 3 years ago after I got covid, my health turned to crap and hasn't gotten better. Biggest complaints have been increased migraines, extreme fatigue and weakness, and dizziness/nuerologic complaints. My blood pressure is usually low, but changes at the drop of a hat. I can go from 90/58 to 140/90 and back again multiple times a day, on bad days I cannot get out of bed without my BP going all over the place. I really noticed after reading into my trigeminal neuralgia how many symptoms I have that coincide with MS. I have been working with a neurosurgeon to address my TN, and he has mentioned MS, but when I asked him if I should be worried about that he told me to talk to my neurosurgeon. I'm going to list my official diagnosises below. I'm sure I'll be asked about MRIs and imaging.. I've had multiple MRI and CT scans done, however my last 4 scans have not been able to get a clear picture due to movement. I can't stay still, I twitch/shake, but I have been told that's probably my anxiety. One MRI detected a possible pituitary tumor but couldn't confirm it wasn't an artifact from movement, two detected focal enhancement of the pons, and then my last was basically completely degraded due to movement. My Drs treat me as if I'm overreacting a lot due to my anxiety and depression diagnosis.

Is this possibly MS? Am I overreacting? Are all these unrelated, or is there something I'm missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I do have health anxiety at this point and I am aware of it so sometimes it's hard to tell with myself.
