[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Hi, I'm new to this website so, I'm in the learning mode. I am 30 Years old and was just diagnosed with PCOS about 3 weeks ago. I'm a bit frustrated and overwhelmed with all these symptoms I've been having. I try to talk to people about what's bothering me, but no one understands what PCOS really is. To many people PCOS doesn't really seem like such a big deal, but to me it has taken a huge emotional tole on my life. I never really had normal periods throughout my teen life, and when I had my daughter 8 years ago, my periods only got worse. I would go 9 months without having one (lots of money on pregnancy test, that only came up with false readings) . Both my husband and I had been trying for another child for years after my daughter was born but never had luck. I can't tell you the last time I was on birth control. I never had acne until my daughter was born, I've been to the doctors several times, but never really received anything affective. Now my acne is only getting worse, I feeling down about my appearance. I go to the Reproductive Endocrinologist on 3/3/09, and I'm hoping I can finally get answers, as far as what meds I need to take, diet, etc. If you can give me advice I would really appreciate it. Like I said no one on my side of the world understands what I'm going through.[/font] |
