I have always jokingly told friends and family that my body hates me. Since going through puberty I have had (in addition to PCOS and all the normal symptomes) degenerating disks in my back, ligament issues in my knees, Rhynoid's syndrome and IBS. After reading everyone else's postings though, maybe these aren't just random other ailments...
Wow... this all sucks. But I guess it's nice to know I'm not alone in the world. I have:
PCOS
minor anemia
asthma
allergies
hay fever
chronic back pain
sleep apnea
minor depression
pre hypertension
anxiety
excess hair
acne
pms- bad
skin tags
minor weight gain
I've begun having problems with painful stabbing/tingly limbs
flatulence
insomnia
insulin resistance
and chronic fatigue, dizziness, and nausea
I think that's all.

Scoliosis, Calcification in my neck, I suffer from headaches, a lot of them, and with in this past week I have had one everyday, it feels like a cross between a tension and sinus headache.
I’ve noticed that I’m beginning to have signs of Type II Diabetes, I’m slowly loosing my hearing, and I’m half way to being considered legally blind. I’ve got a very raped pulse, and not to mention very high blood pressure.
Dyslexia, aphasia, insomnia, shaking and muscle spasms. Constant popping of my joints. Umm, I have the runs at least 1-4 times a week, heart burn especially when I’m trying to sleep, And not to mention I have extraordinarily week joints, I was the child that was almost always wrapped up with an Ace bandage… good thing I had medical back then…
Well I’m pretty sure that I’ve listed everything… I hope you don’t have too hard of a time reading it… and did I mention I’m only 20? I guess my body doesn’t know that fact.
And for the hypochondriac thing…. My family already thinks I am…
And I for got to mention that, though I don’t have sleep apnea I have caught myself forgetting to breath, yeah I know that sounds very strange, but on more then on occasion I have been really interested in something, then it dawns on me that I’m not breathing… It’s really scary when that happens.

Oh and since August whenever I get hot I get a terrible rash. I guess its a heat rash but its something new....
Well I am 27 now, was diagnosed with PCOS in 2002.
I had Carpal Tunnel at 19 (both hands and had surgery on my right only), Kidney stones at 15, Knee problems and lots of neck and back problems as well, I clench and grind my teeth 24 hours a day and have needed 3 root canals from it (sad to say I am a Dental Assistant LOL) Did have bowel problems (going often) better now because I am eating more fiber.
Not medically related to me but my last pregnancy was terminated at 23 weeks due to the baby having severe Spina Bifida.
Taking 2000mg/day of Metformin (only thing to get me pregnant)

Severe migraines
Tinnitus
Near sightedness
Chronic depression
Low tolerance for pain (physically sensitive)
Difficulty concentrating
Emotional Disability

i put question marks by 2 cause they are my current complaints that haven't been dx'd just yet.
I'm not trying to scare you, but have you been tested for Cushings Syndrome? You appear to have many of the symptoms.
PCOS (dx 2005) Metabolic Syndrome X (dx 2005) Allergies Short sighted Hypertension Cholestrol is slightly high Sleep Apnoea Tension Migraines Backache Obesity Very bad knees Eczema (started a couple of months ago) Panic Attacks (also only started a couple of months back) Hirsuitism Hair Loss Cold hands and feet Unable to reheat when my body gets cold nausea heartburn easily upset tummy
Medical:
*PCOS
*Insulin Resistance (this has improved immensely since I've completely changed my diet and have begun exercising every day doing biking and sit-ups)
*IBS (though this has also improved since mine is connected with stress and I've better learned how to avoid stressful situations; it's also improved since I've almost completely removed soda-- I think it's the carbonation that's the factor-- from my diet)
*Asthma (developed it about two years ago)
*Allergies (dust, cat dander-- although I still have three cats--, and other things I'm not aware about)
*Problems with my back (this has also improved since I've lost weight and have been exercising)-- although I'm starting to wonder if it hasn't developed some arthritis
*Arthritis in my left knee
*Arthritis and Tendinitis in my hands (strictly from being on the comp too much)
