Ok, I was initially going for sinus surgery, when they did the pre-op screen they found I was hyperthyroid (though presented all opposite symptoms, weight gain, tired etc), through the tests to figure out what was wrong with my thyroid they discovered PCOS, now I have started to treat the hyperactive thyroid and am gaining weight rapidly which led me to suspect that maybe I have cushings but the Hyperthyroid kept the weight from going up (while something seemed to stop me from the weight loss associated with hyperthyroid).
I also have vitiligo which is also an endocrine disorder.
I am becoming VERY interested in seeing what other medical issues women with PCOS are being diagnosed with, I would believe that there is a root (and often undiagnosed) connection with these issues, have any of you also had Thyroid troubles with your PCOS?

Interesting, I just read the site about cushing's and I remembered something, a while ago I went for a facial and at the end the women asked if I would like her to wax my chin and neck, I hesitated and she told me I had to because it looked so awful I couldn't go out like that, I relented. When she was done it felt like she ripped half of my skin off with the hair, there were bloody patches and it looked way worse then it ever could have before.
The 'thinning skin' characteristic sticks out for me, and no, I never have, nor ever will, go back to that place.
