 Thanks so much web_diva!
It was so nice of you to respond so quickly and with such detail. I'm only 20 years old and I have only known that I have had this for two years now (by the way when I refer to "this" I do have PCOS). But prior to this last year the only effects I had seen were increased hair growth and acne. Though these def were not pleasant after starting Yasmin they got so dramatically better that it was amazing! But then the alopecia came on and this is just something I cannot handle. Its so ironic, whenever I hear of women who have noticed alopecia coming on there is never any notice of it until it gets really bad. Typically women cite having had "thick great hair," something that was once an asset. This was true for me. As for what my main problem is, it IS my adrenals. My DHEAS was so high that they suspected a tumor, and my cortisol was in the above normal range as well. My estrogen and testosterone weren't nearly as significant, and were actually in normal range. I am so glad that you know of something that is natural supplement for adrenal health. And I am so going to take your advice about the gyno. I am currently in between gynos b/c I have had some particularly bad experiences. Lastly, I will try to update on this situation after trying out some new things. Because one of the things that is most frustrating (though I honestly love this site!) is that someone will post a problem or a new therapy they are trying, but fail to update us. And most of the time we are just left with messages that are a cry for help, but left with a void of positive feedback. So I will try to be better at this. Thanks so much once again! |
