Depressed!!!From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 20 Feb 2002 21:29:21 -0600 (CST)
Hi everyone, i wrote my story months and months ago, dont know if anyone remembers me! I'm gonna be 32 tomorrow, the 21st, maybe thats why im so depressed, but don't think so, I have a 2 year old son, who is my miracle, dont know how i got pregnant and had him, i just thank God for him everyday. I'm finally going to a doctor next week, i haven't up until now because of insurance problems. I've always had PCOS i suppose, i started my period when i was 11, and it was the most awful thing ever, very very heavy, i felt so strange and abnormal, and kept it to myself, after i started menstrating, every year i became more and more overweight, I once was over 300, but now i stay at 200 or a little below but thats hard, then my periods became very irregular, maybe twice a year for awhile, then i got excessive facial hair, excessive hair everywhere!! I never even heard of PCOS back then, just thought i was very very strange, even for awhile as a teenager thought maybe i was suppose to have been a boy.. is that crazy? finally at the age of 28 i was seeing a gyn trying to conceive a child, that was after 2 losses, he mentioned PCOS, he said he'll need blood tests but by looks and my menstral history he was pretty sure i had it, i was to go back two weeks later for tests and so forth, but it turned out i was pregnant, so i never followed up with the PCOS thing, the pregnancy went well.. despite me being diabetic, which i was diagnosed with when i was 21, i take insulin injections 3x a day :( so i had my son, after the birth my PCOS got worse it seems.. i started experiencing alot of hair loss.. my hair was so thick, now its thin as can be, and i have my period every 3 months, and its really normal when i have it, never heavy, but every month i still have PMS just never my period, the main thing that has my depressed right now is this hair loss.. can anyone tell me if this is reversible in women with PCOS, and does anything like using rogaine help, or only perscription medications????? I'm so depressed i dont even want to get out of bed, some days i dont even wanna live anymore.. i cry alot, this is just really bad, my son keeps me going.. Thank God for him, cause i don't know what i would do. I know that b/c pills can cause hair loss, but has it stopped the hair loss in anyone?? I'd be pulling my hair out except i dont have a whole lot left to pull :( Please someone help!!!
