I would NOT go that far. I have had these problems for way more than 4 years. As far as I know it's not even anywhere on my medical chart until 1998. I got my period at 11 and I started gaining weight directly after that. I was not a fat child. At age 14 a passing acquaintance (a boy) said "You have a mustache". When I was 17 a girl sitting next to me in class said out loud, "Do you pluck your eyebrows?" So don't sit here telling me I'm belitting *anyone*. I've been there, and I'm sure I have much farther to go. All of the girls in my family have it, and my mother, and none of them have EVER been treated correctly. A sister of mine has HAD a hysterectomy, another one has had so many problems I couldn't even mention them all and is not only bipolar but now diagnosed schizophrenic and on so many mood altering drugs she has gained a million pounds and is puffy EVERYWHERE, and is not a real person any more, and I KNOW that if she had gotten proper treatment for this disorder years ago that never would have happened. She STILL isn't getting proper treatment for her hormones, because as soon as they lower her medication she starts slashing herself to bits. She has 3 children. What a fun life for those kids. Then I sit here and think about all of my lovely nieces who are showing the same problems, I have a 16 year old niece who had one period and then it never showed up again. She has the hair, the skin tags, the weight, and yet even with blood tests the doctor shrugs it off and says she's a late bloomer. YEAH RIGHT!!!! Belitting anyone my A##!!!!!! That signature was a simple text line of mourning, mourning for my fate and the fate of many other women, young and old, who are dealing with this every day and get little if ANY help. Don't you worry. I'm sure I'll go through just as much sh*t as you or anyone else has, before this is over (before I am over). So I suppose I'll get more than my fare share. So rest easy.
