Hi everyone, my name is Leanne, I'm 27 and from the UK. I will tell you a little about me... I first started having symptoms of PCOS when I was 17. I was overweight, had lots of excess hair amongst other things. It took over 10 years and a few doctors for one of them to send me to hospital for tests where they diagnosed me as having PCOS. As I got older, I put on more weight (even though I have tried to do everything I can to loose it, nothing works!), I have hair on the sides of my face, my chin, neck and upper lip, my hairline has started to receed, i don't have periods and suffer terrible mood swings and feel down most of the time. I have never really felt i have been able to talk to people about my condition. I have a fiance who I have been with for nearly 5 years now, and I am still trying to get him to understand! Right now I am going through some problems with my new doctor, as at first he seemed willing to help me with my problems but now, just waves me off! I have also been having a lot of problems with work and now with my fiance! Things just seem a mess at the moment, don't know whether to laugh or cry... well, if you have read this, thanks for listening to my ranting and sorry to bore you!
