hello,
i have a weird question and it probably has nothing to do with pcos but i thought i would see if another person has experienced this...
is getting grey hair early a symptom of pcos? im only 22 and im getting tons of grey hair! im like freaking out! when i pull my hair back you can see grey everywhere! is it just me or is this a side effect? HELP ME

I have a few around the forehead...but since I color my hair, I have no idea how many there really are! LOL My mom went gray early, but my dad had really dark locks until well into his 50s (I hope I inherited SOME of that gene!)

However, if premature graying doesn't run in your family, I have heard that a copper deficiency could be a cause...maybe examine your diet for mineral content to see if you get enough through your food intake???
