This post was great for a bit of light relief, but I mean surely not? I suppose PCOS is a spectrum of disorders or whatever, so it might be possible, but do you really imagine they actually have PCOS as opposed to PCO? And why can't I have the rather subtle type of PCOS that involves looking like Victoria Beckham or Jules Oliver- as in thin, hairless, full head of hair, normal skin, looking in fact like normal women but more attractive than average? I mean I am not by any means suggesting that the infertility/difficutly conceiving aspect isn't extremely distressing, but this seems to be the only problem they would have. And hello, is it really likely PCOS is going to make you thin? This sounds like Victoria making up some old nonsense. I know it is possible to be very thin and have PCOS, god knows our bodies seem capable of any strangeness, but this really doesn't seem very likely. I suppose one ought to be glad PCOS is beginning to get some coverage, at least. (Darn it, why didn't this happen even just a few years ago? I mean it took me months to find out what was wrong, then I was totally misinformed and didn't get it treated!)
