Name Rachael
Age 20
Family situation Single, no children. lived independently since i was 17.
PCOS symptoms Difficulty conceiving, Hirsutism, and when i use hair removal cream or wax, even though it says on the tube that the hair wont grow back for up to three weeks, mine grows back within days. Irregular cycle - ranges anywhere from 9/10 months to 18 months, Overweight, acne, hair loss (my hair is kinda thinner than it used to be, and it falls out when i brush my hair and wash it etc), my voice is also a bit deeper and depression, although the depression can't just be tied to the PCOS in my case. i'm not sure about the size/amount of cysts on my ovaries as i don't get scanned until september.
Worst thing about PCOS all of it
Medication used Metformin 500mg twice a day, dianette. and co-codamol pain killers for my back even though they dont work so i dont take them lol
NHS or Private NHS - iv been pushing for a dianosis since i was 14 and the dr insisted he was correct and that i was just fat (those were his words.) even though i had an eating disorder and was eating 500 calories or less a day and so i stopped attending and making appointments, then a few months ago my mum made me an appointment with her dr and persuaded me to go and he listened to me and got me the tests and diagnosed me.
Action taken against PCOS taking metformin and dianette along with my current diet
