dx PCOS May 2006. Tried BC a year later. Made me crazy. Then tried Metformin 500 8/08. On and off it. Dose increased 3/09 is supposed to be 850 2x but I don't take it like I should.

Okay, so on top of having PCOS (Acne, weight gain, loss of AF, insulin resistance), I also have:
Gall bladder disease (gall bladder removed 09/03)
IBS (chronic diarrhea - and that's before Metformin, lol)
Suspected wheat allergy or Celiac
Hay fever and seasonal allergies (seems to be every season)
Migraines, especially during AF
Restless Legs
Poor circulation
Anxiety
But other than that, I feel great. LOL. Kinda strange to list out all my ailments and compare to others. Actually seems that I am doing pretty good!
I was diagnosed with celiac and crohn's disease a year and a half ago, along with acid reflux and an ulcer in my stomach. I also have hyperthyroidism, had 2 c-sections, had laser surgery for cervical cancer, had a hysterectomy at age 32. My husband says I was made out of experimental parts, because nothing works anymore. I am only 37 yrs. old. The worst part is my symptoms are returning after having been on a gluten-free diet this long.
It seems like anything that can possibly go wrong with me does, and it ALL seems to be related to PCOS I have diabetes, high cholesterol, IBS, hairutism, skin tags, elevated BP, and now i have been told i have lupus anticoagulant. The list goes on and on.
I have hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, ibs, high colesterol& triglycerides, excess hair on parts of my body that is totally humiliating! acne high blood pressure,migranes, depression, anxiety and a really bad back. and im only 35 but i feel like im 90 most of the time.
gallbaldder problems - removed 11/08
heart problems ( passing out due to lack of blood to the brain) better now
bad teeth
scoliosis
carpal tunnel
mega itchy scalp
allergies & chronic sinus infections
