I have just discovered this forum and I'm so pleased! I haven't had a proper diagnosis, but I have the thin hair, oily skin, absent menses, weight and weight distribution, skin tags, weird tan skin patches, and facial/chest hair. I started developing these symptoms as a teen. I have never had regular menses.
I haven't any health insurance, and in the past I have brought up my concerns to 2 ob/gyn and they have both just offered to put me on the Pill and say "Lose weight". Ha. Like that's easy. Frankly I've lost interest in Western Medicine lately and I'm ready for a fresh approach.
I've been getting acupuncture and she's treated me for PCOS. I've had 2 normal periods this year so far, a personal best when not on the Pill. I'm usually either not bleeding for months and months or bleeding 75 out of 100 days.
I've ordered DCI and am on day 3 of it. So we shall see. |
