Went back to the doctor this morning. I had a sonogram and blood work done and she told me why I have such an overgrowth of hair.

I have PCOS. Its official now.Its not really bad, but its still going to be really difficult to have children when I want to

*hugs* Is there anything I can do to cheer you up?

[juri_anne]

Thanks. I'm feeling better, but I'm assuming it'll take a few days/weeks to adjust to everything.

*hugs* I know exactly how you feel, I was really upset when I was told too. One thing I will say, I don't know if it is available where you are or anything but if you can get put on a drug called Metformin then do so.

I waited years being fobbed off by one doctor or another before finally being put on it and believe me it makes a huge difference. I lost weight almost immediately when I started on it and felt hundreds of times better.

*hugs again*

I'll ask my cousin about it. It pays to have a doctor in the family. *laughs*

Hope everything's gonna be okay :)

[juri_anne]

It will eventually. Thanks though.

[juri_anne]

Thanks. I know its going to be hard, but I know I'll get through it. It's going to be different, but I'll adjust to it. *smiles*

Well, be happy that you have a name for your condition and the possibility of treatment which will inevitably get better in the future. =) (That's how I had to think when I was diagnosed with Crohn's. Chronic disease is a pisser, but what can ya do...)

[juri_anne]

That's true. Its not like I'm dieing and no one knows what the hell is wrong with me.

Chronic disease is a pisser, but what can ya do...
Yea. I'm starting to get that feeling.

[coachvee]

Yeah, when you have a disease that has such vague symptoms, often you are glad to just know that it has a name. That's just how I felt XD
It still sucks though, can't deny that. But knowing what it is is the first stage of being able to treat it and deal with it :)
