feeling uglyFrom: wendy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 28 Apr 2000 22:57:28 -0500 (CDT)
Hi. I feel strange writing, I've never actually spoken to anyone who might be able to empathise with me. I hope some of you will be able to. The health aspects of PCOS are horrible-- but for me the worst thing is feeling ugly. I am 24 and have been dealing with the symptoms of pcos since high school. I have always been overweight and have been struggling with excessive hair growth for years now-- but the last card dealt to me has been the thinning of my once beautiful wavy red hair. My family and friends think I am obsessing and being vain-- but they have absolutely no idea what it feels like to not even be able to look yourself in the mirror. I feel disgusting on a daily basis and sometimes wonder how I manage to get out of bed at all. All of this probably makes me sound like a basketcase, but I am hoping that one of you will tell me that you understand and that the metformin can help these things that are making me feel so atrocious. Tell me that everything is going to be ok. Tell me anything. Do yall ever feel like "Why me?" I do. I know that there are people with worse problems than me, but I can't help feeling this way. One more question and I will end this whiny letter--Do any of you have Narcolepsy? I do, and I have just been curious if anyone else might have this strange combination of afflictions.
-- Wendy
