 To all
I am glad that there is a site where, I can vent my concerns about PCOS and not be made to feel that my concerns are trivial or just seen as being petty. I for a while thought that maybe, there was something wrong with me for being upset about going through these physical changes. I am happy to know that my feelings aren't trivial and there are other women going through the exact same thing.
I say this because, most of the women, I have spoken to about my symptoms, will go on to say "oh, well I just had a baby and now have cellulite", I try to explain to them, that I have a actual condition,that is a health problem, and not something that is just going to disapear with medication, or plastic surgery. They will start comparing the time that they had acne with my acne,or say, If you just eat right your PCOS will disapear. They don't seem to understand that PCOS is more than a physical thing it is also an endocrine disorder.
In my opinion there a lot of ignorance about PCOS and it's devastating affects on the women who have it. Most women no matter what, want to at some point in their life want to feel attractive, desired, PCOS for most part takes that away from women. I wish more celebrities would come out about having PCOS and work towards inspiring other women, but of course, they can afford the best doctors, surgeons, fertility experts. It just sucks that they don't come forward. |
