Living with PCOS: The *Dirty* Version

*UPDATE: 1/6/09*

I've realized that this video has had thousands of views, but that's thousands of times you all have soaked in my negativity...

I have more positive videos for you to digest--equally as catchy and awesome--and I wish you would watch those instead. They're more uplifting.

Thank you.

I have all the symptoms except diabetes, cancer (not that I know of) & acne - getting some tests done next month to see what exactly is going on with me & whether or not I actually have it :/ atm I have a thicker beard than some men & I'm having it removed (laser) -.- so something's definitely not normal.. I just hope my doctor actually takes me seriously this time

[Forlaniz3]

@wickeddarkness what tests did you have, and what are your results?  i'm curious. how are you doing lately?

[wickeddarkness]

@Forlaniz3

I'm still waiting for the results... I had to give 2 blood samples & I still have to get an ultrasound... the waiting lines are pretty bad here... like, the doc discovered a heart murmur back in january, but I have to wait until the middle of April to get a consult with the cardiologist -.-

[Forlaniz3]

@wickeddarkness keep me posted. so, tell me, with the heart murmur... does it limit you from doing simple exercise? are you out of breath?

I'm 17years old diagnosed with PCOS AND rheumatoid arthritis.Doctor told me that if I wont get married by 19 I wont be able to be a mother ever.50mm & 30mm multiple cysts respectively in both of my ovaries,gained 45pounds in 4months.Kindly pray for me.I really love babies..cry alot in depression.

Birth control hasn't helped me for 17 years. Several doctors have told me that PCOS is a "made up" disease. An endocrinologist told me it was a "social disease." I eat 1300 calories a day and run 20 miles a week and I cannot lose one stupid pound. The hair on my head is falling out while the beard under my chin is growing in quite thick. At 31 years old I have more acne than most 15 year olds. Some days I feel like giving up, but mostly I just trudge on. Thanks for the posting the video.

Right, I'm 15 nearly 16 and I think I could has this.

I have hair on my face(a little moustache) and belly. My periods are becoming later and later every month.I sometimes put a little weight on but then lose it really fast.In between periods(when your supposed to ovulate) I get really bad cramping in my pelvic area and depression.I can sometimes feel really happy at one minute then really down the next.

I have been booked in the see a doctor at hosp.

I was just wondering could these be a sign?

[wickeddarkness]

Well, I saw my doctor today and yes - I have PCOS -.-

[wickeddarkness]

@Forlaniz3

No - but I do have heart palpitations from time to time :/ I hope it's nothing serious... It looks like it's something new because last year everything was "normal", apparently...

The doctor did say that he's almost certain that it's PCOS, but yeah - we need to wait for the results to be sure...
