Alone...
Is it just me or does having PCOS make you feel like you're not a good enough person. My doctor seems to think it's so easy to lose weight and all is forgiven, but so much comes with being diagnosed. I was diagnosed in 2018 after trying to conceive, hypothyroidism right after that diagnosis, then I live and breathe dandruff, dry skin and facial hair. As if having low self esteem wasn't enough now I look in the mirror and see a disgusting person! I feel so alone dealing with this diagnosis… read more
Just out of curiosity you mention mind fog. Have you ever thought that it may be a gluten issue instead? My doctors thought for the longest time it was my thyroid since I was border line hypothyroidism on my tests. I switched to a new obgyn because my old obgyn told me that all my symptoms were pcos related. I was having absolute horrible mind fog, exhaustion, nausea, body aches, head aches, and the worst bloating ever! I would have to sleep 10 hours a day and still wake up completely exhausted. My new obgyn told me I have a food allergy to dairy or gluten and to figure it out. Once I quit eating gluten I feel amazing! I lost an inch and a half of bloating off my waist and have so much energy!!
You are not alone in this, everyday I seem to get more and more depressed when I look in the mirror because my hair keeps breaking off and thinning out. But ive had to kill that notion. Its a mindset. Next time go in the mirror and find one thing you physically love about yourself. Everyday ask it and add something to it. Even if its the one small patch of skin that doesnt have acne or hair on it. Little steps for a big outcome girl. We are all in this together!
I understand i been dealing and hiding this kinda thing senc i was 9 10 years old no one told me when it was or found out till mine went into overdrive if i did not shave everyday i would be the bearded lady for real i have to shave more than my husband so just know you are not alone
I would defiantly see another doctor. I switched doctors 2 months ago and what a difference!
I very much get this. My thyroid meds were still being figured out a few months ago – and sidenote, I think they're going to need to be adjusted again soon. I was having a hard time financially. I went to a clinic and the doctor was so rude to me. I had come in there because I was still having brain fog and other symptoms. He told me to just cut sodas/pops.
*insert rolling of the eyes here*
I don't even drink pop aside from coke zero. And this was the second time in my life a doctor dismissed me like this. My hormones were everywhere and I ended up crying in front of the med students he had with him.
So, trust, I get you.
