Name: Sharron but please call me Shaz
Nickname on soulcysters: crazyirishmunchkin
Age: 20
Family situation: When I am at home, I live with my Dad, Mum and my four younger sisters - Abbi, Cherri, Debra and Jess.
About me: I am crazy Christian who loves to have fun. (when I get the time to) I have just finished a gap year project where I volunteered in a church in Essex and got involved with the community and youth there. I am at University in Huddersfield studying Youth and Community Work in my first year of a three year degree course. I live in student accomodation with three lovely third year art students.
PCOS symptoms: No period at all since Sept 04 (I have definately saved a lot of money there though - yay!) Excess hair everywhere esp my face which is really annoying and awful looking, mass amounts of acne on back and esp on face, lots of excess weight - really difficult to lose any, easier to put weight on even on heathly diet, l get so tired and lethargic all the time even with loads of sleep and I have a really bad problem with depression which has affected me most of my life.
Worst thing about PCOS: The weight problem, the acne and the hair cuz its affecting my self-esteem which sets the depression off...
Medication used: Nothing as yet
NHS or Private: None at minute - I have got no help from any doctors I have been to so far. They all told me to go away and lose some weight!!!
Action taken against PCOS: In search of a doctor who is willing to help me and trying to find out as much about PCOS as I can and get loads of support from others who have it.
PM or Email?: Go for it, I am happy to get PM and emails from all of you especially with support and help and advise. My email is
crazyirishmunchkin@hotmail.co.uk Any other information: Thanks so much for reading this and I hope that we can be a real support and encouragement to one another.
God bless you all, luv Shaz xxxx
