My PCOS Rant I remember how you feel because I was 19 when I got acne for the first time in my life and I gained weight for no reason and my VERY thick gorgeous hair started coming out in clumps. Now at 33, medicated for 9 years, my hair is a little better, my facial hair is somewhat reduced and I donīt have acne at all. Iīm still very much overweight, and it just wonīt come off. Even though you are depressed and feeling unfeminine, you are gorgeous and you need to know that. We are confined to daily tweezing, shaving, careful haircuts, medication, low glycemic diets and being poked and prodded when itīs time for a kid. But - we have empathy we didnīt have before this kicked in and maybe thatīs the gift of PCOS. Hang in there with the rest of us - you are NOT alone. |
