Need Alittle HelpFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 7 Dec 2002 19:19:17 -0600 (CST)
Hello.I am a 28 year old woman that has PCOS.I have had problems for most of my life.But just in the past year has my new DR been talking about PCOS.For most of my life I have been heavy.Always the biggest girl in school.It helped that I am tall and can hold alot of weight.But with that I stood out more.For alot of my teen years I did not think much of it.So I did not go to the DR that much.It wasn't till I was 16 and did not have a period in like 10 mo that I started to worry.I knew I could not be pregnant but was not sure what was going on.My first gyno appointment was a really bad excperiance.So it was awhile before I went back.It also did not help that I did not have good insurance.So for the next 5 years or so I just let it go.I just figured that it would all fix it self.I did try many times to find out what was going on but got no help.Dr after DR would tell me that the reason I had no period was because I was overweight.So I gave up on DR.Then in my early 20's I got really bad facial hair.I work in the beauty industry so I tried everything to get rid of it.But I could not keep up with it.SO I did the most awful thing.I shaved.It was the only way.With no help from any DR.No way of knowing what was going on.I shaved.Now in my late 20's reading a Nurses mailer I have found that so much of what has been going on with me can be excplained.There was this section about POOR SELF IMAGE.I now know this to be part of PCOS.I have lived with it for a long time.See I never had any problems with friends or boyfriends all while I was growing up.I was pretty popular.All the way up to about 25.Then as I belive my PCOS had gotten worse.I let my self get in to a very abusive relationship.Let my work suffer.Lost intrest in meeting new people.All because I feel really awful about my self.That is not me.I am so outgoing.I would talk to any one.Now just people at work...............God I am sorry I went on and on.It just felt good to get some of this out.And this just felt like the place to do.People that might understand me.I will stop for now.But I hope you will all let me do this again.VENT........Now All i really wanted to do was to ask a few ?????'s.......What is BCP's?????What meds are really good for facial hair???And what meds have worked for some of you???the best for weight loss.??See I am 6'3 and REALLY overweight by atleast 150lb?????So please if you can help it would ,mean alot........Thank you.........
