the thing that scared me is that i'll probably be taking some kind of meds for it my whole life. it's always going to make problems. coping with it will probably get easier as time goes by , but at the moment it's a shocker to me.

That is true for some, but not all. Some women go on medication until their bodies get into the right track and then they manage with diet and exercise. Others are on the medication for the rest of their lives. There are a number of women who have chosen to go the alternative remedies route (supplements, diet, exercise) and have been very successful. It just depends on your preference. KatCarney, for example, has had great success with diet and exercise, that's it.
But what's most important for you to know (and one of the most difficult things to hear) is that it is a life long process. You can get it under control (with or without medication) but you'll never be cured. It just depends on how you want to approach it.
In either case, welcome to SC! You'll find lots of information here to help you out.
