Re: My Period just got even weirder.....if there is such a thing!From: claire (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 24 May 2000 19:10:12 -0500 (CDT)
Finally, someone that gets periods every two weeks. I have been going on for years like this. I have all the other symptoms , weight gain from eating nothing, hair loss around my temples and forhead, also my hair jsut semms to be thinning,now I have acne, hair above my lips, and on side of my eye lashes,fibrocystic breastw which kills me around my period, when i eat less carbo hydartes i feel better and I am so tired all the time. I have tried homepathic and herbs but nothing works. they tell me I am going through menopause ?? was not sure if I have Pcos but it sure sounds like it. what do you think??
