Evening all. (21:30 here in the uk)
When I was 15 I noticed that all my friends had started to develop into young ladies. They had stories to tell where they had needed their mum to take them to the pharmacy and buy "ladies things"... and I was left out.
At 16 my mum took me to see the family doctor. I had low progesterone levels and raised testosterone. (not to mention nasty thoughts and aggressive moments, but I kept evidence to myself)
Later blood tests concluded that I did indeed have P.C.O.S. I was initially put onto medroxyprogesterone, but that didnt work for me. I was....lets just say, unstable. A few
YEARS after I was put onto Dianette, I calmed down quite dramatically. More recently while visiting the gyne she noticed that my blood tests showed hypothyroidism had set in. (Actually phoned me up after she had discharged me!)
The good news is that I have been on 100mg Thyroxine for... well.. literally months and already visual clues to my problems have started to back down.....
...and do you know what else has happened...... MY BOOBS HAVE GROWN!! I had never developed properly, and suddenly I have gone up around a cup size. Brill!
Head hair is starting to thicken, and it seems like my brain power has shot up dramatically. I no-longer get stuck mid-sentence.
So next thing was to look up on the net to see what kind of information there was available - and I found you lot. Great, now I can ask questions, and support others going through the same.
Nice to meet you all. Talk soon I'm sure.
