PCOS symptoms Gaining weight for as long as I can remember regardless of any diets and exercise. Excessive hair, hair loss, acne, irregular periods since puberty, skin tags, brown patches ... think that covers it.
Worst thing about PCOS Excessive hair and hair loss. I am a bit too scared to wash my hair nowadays. Seeing the doc about it in a fortnight.
Medication used Metformin 1500mg. Other meds for Kidney disease.
NHS or Private NHS - I see my own GP. I told him my symptoms and he immediately suggested I had PCOS. He has been brilliant
Action taken against PCOS New way of life regarding diet and exercise. All helping me discover the woman that has been hidden within for a long long time.
PM or Email? Happy for anyone to pm me.
Any other information I am a great believer that for every negative in life there is a positive. The postive to this for me is, I am changing the person I have been into the woman I should have been a long time ago. I am liking the journey now I have the answers.
