Keep the faith. Drink tons of water if youīre not doing that already. It flushes out the extra androgens (male hormones) and eat a low carb diet. Those are just two natural rememdies. You are still a very pretty girl, despite all that youīre going through. Donīt forget to take your supplements, if you donīt already to do that.

It took a lot of courage for you to do this. I commend you for your strong spirit. Love yourself. You deserve love regardless of your PCOS. Donīt let the confusing messages of the world confuse you.

You are a beautiful girl. You will get better and better. Your ability to face your symptoms head on is amazing. I denied my symptoms for years.

I have all of these symptoms too - and for awhile tried to deny that anyone could notice... Therefore I didn't have to admit to it. The fact that you can share like that in a video already is an amazing step forward! Just know that you will conquer this, and even still while you are dealing with the symptoms it does not change the fact that you are a beautiful woman inside and out! All the best.

Hi hun :-)
I really feel what you are saying. I suffer from this condition as well - I am 28. Throughout your discussion, I found myself nodding and identifying with all of your symptoms. There is nothing anyone can do or say to make you feel better. All I can say is that I understand and feel what you feel. Take care and take each day as it comes. Appreciate the small things and celebrate them. Take care xoxox

you are so BRAVE for posting this. i can type about the hair growth on forums like this, but i canīt even verbalize it without crying. i teach children who are very honest and i fear the day that one of them will ask me why i have sideburns or a hairy neck. it was huge for me watching you show your pictures of your symptoms on this video. you are strong and you will conquor this terrible soul-destroying disease.

I love that you posted this video. Iīve been dealing with PCOS since I was in 7th grade.. The funny thing is that, i didnt notice the sideburns or the few dark hairs on my chin, some of the wonderful boys i went to school with did. Everyday in school this one boy i sat next to would ask me if i wanted him to bring his dads razor to school with him so i could use it. It was horrible. I just kinda dealt with it the best i could until we moved and i started a new school. It was my freshman year and i was tired of always looking down and wearing my hair in my face to try to cover it up. I got the bright idea to shave it all off the morning i started high school.I didnt want to be known as the chick with sideburns and a beard..I never felt happier than i did at that moment, to be able to wear my hair up...until..you guessed it..it grew back darker..and of course there was more of it from where i shaved hair that wasnt as noticable. Back then there wasnt much known about PCOS so no one was sure what to do for me. I am now 25 and it hasnt gotten any easier for me. I am happily married but i still wont let my husband see me completely naked. He says hes fine with it so i should be too...He doesnt understand and i dont really expect him to. Sometimes when im upset about it, he tries to make me feel better by saying hes jealous because his wife could grow a thicker beard faster than he can. It doesnt help but, im so glad that he loves me for who i am and not what i look like. I also feel like less of a woman because of this. Like you said about the īcomb overī I have to do the same thing..its not only receding, but its thinning on the top and in the back. Body hair is another issue for me as well. Most days i hate myself because of what PCOS is doing to me. I just wanted to thank you for posting this video and reassuring me that im not the only one dealing with this. It makes me feel a lot better. If you have yahoo messenger, feel free to add me sometime. My screen name is aambermmarie20. Or you can email me at alascola@ivytech.edu
