A long Journey thus far, is truly just beginning. August 23, 2006 we will become parent's for the first time....and we thought TTC was hard?!
I have IBS (can't hardly eat anything without running to restroom), carpal tunnel, tmj (grinding teeth at night), anxiety, stress, unable to get to sleep, back and neck pain, headaches, numbing in arms and hands, aches and pains in joints, acid reflux (heartburn), possible ulcer, etc. etc. I swear people think I am a hypochondriac too, but it is amazing how many women are having the same things happen with them and we all have pcos (and all the great symptoms that come along with that).
pcos, endometriosis, knee problems (make weird clicking noises, and hurt at times), back pain due to weight i think, acne, hpv (thanks to a lovely cheating ex), cervical cancer (all fine now), deppression, anxeity, panic attacks, dizzy spells when body is under extreme stress, insulin resistance, facial hair.
Pretty much old before my time hahaha well the body is atleast, oh and i cut my leg shaving the other day and vow never again to use razors! lol
double curved scoliosis , pulmunary hypertension, bad eye sight, knocked knee, sinus problem, almost every year i get pnuemonia. and all the pcos symptoms

Hey everyone, I guess I have the normal symptoms...morbidly obese, hairy chin, side burns, hairy breasts, hair on fingers and toes, mustache, horrible mood swings, I cry a lot too, I get a period about every 5 months, very bad bloating and horrible cramps, I'm very gassy, I'm not sure if anyone elese experiences this but I'm always tired. When I do get my period its very heavy. I have acne on my body, but not too much on my face. When I get a zit its usually only one or two but never more than that at one time.
I have all the classic PCOS symptoms, but thankfully nothing else yet (my doctor made a joke once that if I didn't have pcos I would be totally healthy...my luck lol) :
obesity
hair..just about everywhere it shouldnt be LOL
skin tags...3 so far but havent come back yet
dark patches of skin..underarms, neck, and thighs
Infertility..antiovulatory and amenorrhea
Insulin Resistance
Also have a rash on my feet that I know is from PCOS even tho the doctor says otherwise. The reason I say this is my cousin who also has PCOS has it too. It's like brownish freckles.
My long hair was starting to get thinner, but my mom (she's an RN) told me to take some biotin and see if it worked...it did wonders for me. Made my hair even thicker than before and my nails grow like weeds. I was so happy about that!! Wish I could find a cure for everything else that easy.

Very interesting thread. I think I may have PCOS (weight gain, facial hair, acne, skin tags, itchy flay scalp, heavy and painful periods) but not diagnosed yet. I am very interested to read about the possible link to autoimmune diseases as I have multiple sclerosis, diagnosed since 2001, still in it's early, mild stages but my main symptom is fatigue but this has improved since self injecting Beta Interferon for the last year. Without wishing to scare anyone, some of the posts I've been reading are from people experiencing 'classic' MS symptoms.
I've been suffering from pretty much uncontrollable diarrhea for the last year or so (on and off) which could be IBS but possibly a lovely, but fairly uncommon, MS symptom known as bowel incontinence. I've also suffered from acid reflux since I was 21 and I'm on permanent medication for this
I posted here once before and since then I was informed of lots of other things I have. So here I go again:
PCOS (this time I have a real diagnosis!)
high cholesterol
high triglycerides
not quite IR, but almost
lactose sensitive
TMJ
had my gallbladder removed
think I have asthma
had iritis (worth throwing in since it's pretty uncommon)
really, I am too young for all this...oh yeah, and I'm nearsighted too
Asthma (since a child but got worse in early twenties)
Severe allergies (all my life)
Depression (all my life but DX at 12)
Anxiety (all my life)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Status Migraine w/Aura (since 1996)
Sleep Apnea (I don't wear my mask anymore becuase no matter what I do, no matter what mask they tried, I would take it off during my sleep ) (DZ in 2001)
Acne (Proactiv is wonderful!)
Hypothyroidism (DX in 1994 w/ elevated TSH and T3))
Hypertension
Insulin Resistant
Fibromyalgia (DX in 1997, but I have it mild compared to a lot of people)
then the usual problems with PCOS (high testosterone, high LDL cholesterol, elevated LH, low progesterone, low magnesium)

Possible MS-started in 2001, started as optic neuritis, no attacks since then, mild case if I do have it
Hypothyroid 1998- my mom and both of her sisters have it too
Off and on depression-I've been taking Lexapro for about 2 years and it's really helped
ADD-not officially dx but I have a lot of the symptoms - my dr. let me try Stratera and it really made a difference, I just couldn't take the side effects

Other than PCOS I have IBS and am lactose intolerant. In the past I've needed prescriptions for anxiety to get me through college classes--I would get too anxious to speak in public.
