When I graduated hs 8 years ago, I was 98lbs. I'm now 140. I started gaining just before I had my first dx around 21 (was dx'd @ 24). Now that my symptoms are becoming more "classic", I've managed to put on 20lbs without effort. The past 6 mos or so, my cheeks have seen more hair. I've always been hairier than my friends on the legs and arms. I have low blood sugar moments, and have for years. I get dizzy and nauseated without food very easily, and DH keeps a granola bar in his pocket, just in case lol! My hair used to be a four inch pony and is now about 1/2 an inch... I miss it! That, and the undiganosed depression and the no periods/no ovulation... well.. ok, maybe aside from the not being "obese"... I'm a "classic" cystor! lol
I am very angry that I wasn't dx'd earlier in life... I've had enough symptoms over the years that they should have put it together!
