My PCOS Rant
I have something called PCOS and I felt I needed to post my rant about it. Thanks to everyone for the comments and messages. And a huge thank you to www.projectpcos.org for putting my video on their website. If you are commenting just to tell me what I should do with MY body, get lost. I don’t need your opinion on what how you think I should live MY life.
Does anyone know if PCOS can cause severe anger?? I have PCOS and have been pissed off to the point of beating people up!! I am afraid of going to jail, already have diabetes and high cholesterol from this. CUrrently I take crestor and wechol for my cholesterol. I am SUPPOSED to take homone therapy too but feel it makes me TOO mellow so I stopped and my symptoms are back with a vengence:(
I have PCOS too and I was diagnosed about 6 years ago. Right now, my main complaint is my hair loss. It is devastating. Does anyone know how to make it stop??? I do notice mood swings as well. It is frustrating. I have been on Metformin for almost 6 years as well.
I too have it.I lose and gain weight considerably I have dark patches on my skin called acanthiasis negritude all over my neck under my knees and in my elbows,.in my armpits i cant wwear a decent tank shirt
i so feel you. im the same way..
I think I have the same thing I’m just scared to go to the doctor
PCOS sucks. i hate it!
thanks for this video. you are right, pcos is real, and all the symptoms are real and painful to have. u are strong to share this with us.
I have PCOS too but mine is under control. Here’s a tip: start a high protein diet and work out! get your heart rate up! As for the pimples, mine went away once I started working out more. Trust me ladies, this works!
hoe else does it effect you…i just found out i might have it..for a long time ive been feeling shitty and never had any check ups..i have bad depression and mood swings…and other issues…and to top it off i have a very stressful job taking care of an elderly woman…and i dont know what to do…
YES anger is a major part of pcos. i have alot of anger issues . even the smallest thing can make my flip out . i’m not as bad as i used to be but it’s definitely part of pcos
are you on spiro for your pcos? i am
Watch your video, I can relate to what your saying and what symtoms and feelings you have, i have nearly all of them, i havent had a period for 2 years, nearly 3 now. at 14 i was skinny as a twig, there is such a difference now, i have sideburns and upper lip hair, i’ve got the dark patches too which makes me so so depressed about myself. i have the darkpatches too, i hope your ok and all
Im going to try and treat my PCOS with weight loss and metoformin…I have the hair growth on my chin I shave every 3-4 days and I have very thick sideburns…I think im going to it lasered off
I hate my facial hair too. I don’t feel like a girl sometimes either. It sucks… I shave it, but it’s so obvious that I shave it, and I have constant razor burn… I’m glad that I’m not loosing my hair, and I’m very sorry for you.
Hi I have been diagnosed with PCOS now for 3 years. I have all your symptoms, except the hairloss. And its very, very frustrating. My question is, does anyone else get sudden sharp stabbing pains in their lower abdomen? It usually goes away in a few seconds. I get these very often and I want to know if its the PCOS or something else.
@ADreamAsLovely usually docs will put you on met, spiro, and bcp, but mine didn’t (long story, really dumb actually), and i was planning on asking my primary about spiro. are you having any side effects?
hi shae i can so relate girl i have pcos got diagnosed by endo at age 20 i have the same exact symptoms as u hair loss as of lately, and bad hair growth, acne, lb gain, went to the dr today they want to try me on yaz. have u heard about maca its a natural herb thats supp to help symptoms greatfly w/ woman that have pcos. hang in there girl i know its ruff ur not alone girl i feel ur pain hun u rock t/y fer making this ur strong ! xo
I understand! I went 3 and a half years without a period, in which time, I gained 90 pounds. I was kicked off of my high school dance team because I was too fat and no one believed that there was anything wrong–that I was sneakily chowing down on cakes after school everyday or something. I was diagnosed last month. The thing that has bothered me most is the debilitating depression that accompanies all of these symptoms. I dropped out of college and I don’t know where my life is heading anymore.
im 16 and i got diagnosed about 4 months ago. i started having all the syptoms you are having when i was 13. i went to doctor after doctor searching for a answer and all they told me was i would grow out of it. and now im 16 and feel awful. i have excess hair,weight issues,ance,i havnt had a period since i was 12, and the list goes on and on. pcos really does take a toll on your life. knowing that im going to have to deal with it for the rest of my life is just alot to handle.
I can totally relate to you on this! Have you been prescribed anything? I went through pcos for over 20 years before i was recently diagnosed, but I haven’t been prescribed anything yet. A lot of women are having huge success with metformin (glucophage) My dr mentioned spironalctone and bcp. I hope you feel better soon. Write to me if you need to talk to someone
@islandista25 Yes! My dr says thata lot of women with pcos also develop endometriiosis, which can cause sharp pain all over the abdomen, bladder, bowel area. Have you tried any of the usual (metformin,spiro,bcp?) I’m waiting for lab tests before starting in Oct. and I’m really hoping for some relief.
I’m in the same boat and I’m 17. It all started when I was younger- my hair went from INCREDIBLY frizzy to exactly like yours- straightened out… and started falling out. No acne, not in middle school or highschool… but now I’ve got it. My bleeding for my periods skips MONTHS, and when it does happen there’s severe cramping. The hair on my neck is gross and ugh.
I’m so sorry. Hopefully you’ve gotten a bit better since this was posted.
Thank you for this video. I too suffer with PCOS and I have noticed hair loss, I’m not sure if it’s as bad as yours, I don’t think so, but my hair used to be super thick years ago. It’s thin anymore. :-/ I don’t have a ton of unusual hair growth, which I am thankful for. I do have extremely irregular periods, I DON’T ovulate which is a huge thing for me, because in the next couple of years my fiance’ and I want to have a baby. It’s not an easy illness to deal with. I feel you 100%.
”FUCK YOU PCOS”!!!!!!!!
try maca
