is it just me?

[summerose]

Does anyone else out their get depressed when they think about having to take medication for PCOS for the next however many years, I was thinking about it last night and it just looks kinda depressing, I guess maby because every medication I have been on before was just for short time, dont get me wrong I am glad that they can give me something to treat it, and maby it is just now hitting me (because I have only known I have PCOS for a week now) that there is something wrong with me and it is not going to go away. Does anyone else feel this way or did feel this way?

I feel the same way...very depressing!!!!

I felt that way when I was first diagnosed. Occasionally I still do. I've really just gotten used to be taking medication daily. I don't really like it but it's a way I can try to help myself and deal with PCOS.

nah i dont mind so much, i;ve never had a problem takeing pills, but what i do hate is when im at school or something and people see me takeing my lunch time met and ask whats that for, why are you takeing that! o0o0o she has drugs! im not ashamed but i still dont feel like explaining it to every person that sees me!
however spiro on the other had *hugs spiro* i wouldnt want to stop takeing it!

I've never minded that. I am use to taking pills. As a child I would always be sick and take something and was always in the hospital...some reasons were my fault(like being a bit of a dare devil) I take my anitdepressents and that bothers me because I have to rely on a pill to make me happy but the PCOS pills don't bother me one bit. Like Sam I hate people asking what they are for...and it doesn't help when one of my antidepressents look like ecstacy.

No, I don't mind. I guess I was just so excited to learn what was actually wrong with me that it never really hit me that way. Though, what stinks is having no insurance and the costs of all the meds. Poo! Hang in there. Remember... at least you and the doctors know what's going on with your body, and there's actually help for it.

I was diagnosed four years ago, and i look back at the first couple of years and envy the ignorance. I totally get what you mean, i hate getting up every day and feeding myself witht the hormones my body wont make. I think it is depressing the idea of being on pills for the rest of my life, but at the moment il do anything to just make it right or better, pills or no pills. If it works then it will be worth it in the long run (or at least thats what i tell myself when i take them anyway).

It is not the part about taking the pills that bug me, I have no problem taking pills, but it is the part about having to depend on them to make my body do what it is sappost to do by it self, and it is not like I can take them for 3 months and be all better, but having to take them for a very long time and knowing that it is not healing my body just making my body to what it is sappost to do by its self

I agree with summerose!

I have been raised in a family where money is everything lol and I have recently been prescribed Metformin..and my parents don't even know about my Pcos yet. When they find out they're gonna freak out lol Anyhow..for me, it's depressing that I have to take it for the rest of my life..and those are my gynecologist's exact words..I asked her how long I'd have to take the metformin and she said forever...that alone sounds depressing ..however i'm fine with it now
