PCOS symptoms I'm obese, getting more acne these days than I've ever had in my life, constant, sometimes heavy, periods since Aug last year, excess hair on my chin, chest, back and stomach, mood swings, headaches. Not sure about cysts yet. Got my scan on Friday
Worst thing about PCOS The constant periods! It's getting me down and most of the times keeps me from going out much. The excess hair is getting very annoying also.
Medication None yet. Wont know till after Friday
NHS or Private NHS. It's taken months for them to get their asses in gear. I've had to nag very week or two since October last year. They kept me waiting over the whole of christmas and new year for blood results. Didnt enjoy myself during that holiday.
Action taken against PCOS I'm still trying to get my head around things and reading up on helpful tips and suggestions
PM or Email? I'm happy with PM's or emails. Whatever is easier for others
Any other information I've been going through depression since 2000 after my Dad died of cancer. Which lead me to self harm myself. I've been clean of that for 3 years but I'm worried about being on the verge of going back to that because of the PCOS and the fact I blame myself. Very tough time indeed. |
