This is a great find. I am sure there are more celebs with this disorder who keep it quiet...

It is unfortunate. I know of several celebs who have it and are advised again talking about it. When I became the National Spokesperson for the PCOSA, as a Plus Size model I was advised against it too. Too unsexy, too graphic. I told "them" that it doesn't matter... and I am not a celeb so they have nothing to worry about. It is important to me, and I only answer to myself and God.

I think it is lame. If you think about how many women have PCOS it is for sure running deeper in the Hollywood community than just the few mentioned on the list.

Thanks for the link! I'm glad to see the information getting out to the public.

I take issue with the phrase below the title that "worst of all, it may make you infertile." They could have written something different. Not that infertility isn't a terrible thing to deal with - I've had years of struggling with it myself. But, although they do discuss the other health implications further down in the article, I would have preferred to find the other health problems related to PCOS a little more front and center.

I guess it's a reflection of the fact that many women are only diagnosed when they aren't able to conceive naturally, so that is the top priority for those women. But, reading only the top part could make some women who might have PCOS decide not to read the article if they aren't having problems conceiving or don't want to. JMHO

Yes deblynnc I agree with you for many women the most distressing symptoms must be the physially obvious ones. The hair is the most disturbing for me, completely deflates my confidence.

Thank you for posting this interesting article. It is too bad that more celebrities with PCOS don't come forward. It would help spread the 'word' about PCOS!
