I feel so UglyFrom: Becky (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 29 Sep 2000 00:22:05 -0500 (CDT)
I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS. After years and years(5) of going from doctor to doctor. I've been to 3 ob-gyns, 2 dermontoligists, 2 physicians, 1 diet doctor, 1 electroligist, and even a plastic surgeon. All without any health insurance. It cost me recently $500 to find out (from the same ob-gyn I saw years ago) that I have PCOS. And that was only because I saw a talk show talking about it, otherwise I probally would of went on thinking that I'm JUST UGLY. I am 29, still pretty young, but can't see me dating because of the ugly symtoms, 30lb weight gain, acne, facial hair. I really think people look at me as being a slob for the weight gain, dirty because of the acne, and masculent because of the hair. I am glad to know I was not cursed and it is a medical problem. BUT now what? Should I tell all the people that look at me that I have PCOS. Should I tell the mirror that. It scares me. My doctor has put me on birth control pills(which is quite ironic since I haven't been gettin no action for a while)which have regulated my period. But what about the rest? I'm afraid he's gonna leave things at that and send me on my way till next year. Thanks for listening to me vent. I know all you women out there are all going threw the same thing and some worse. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!
