I just thought I'd let people know that there is an article in this months Company magazine about PCOS. If you're like me and have read almost everything you can get your hands on you'll know it all already, but it's still interesting, and good to see people are becoming more aware of it.

It mentioned Victoria Beckham and said that although she was slim most women with PCOS are overweight which I thought was important to point out, because it seems to me that famous names linked to PCOS are all slim. That makes it look like I'm telling fibs when I say it's really hard to lose weight!!

I showed the article to my boyfriend too, and when I'd gone off to do something I found him reading it which I was pleased about. It means he knows what sort of symptoms are connected (like the excess hair - embarrassing!) without me having to tell him. And it meant we could talk about it more comfortably, especially now he knows how common it is.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.
