Does Pcos Affect Joints And Give Pain?
Hi all
This is my first time to post here.
I was diagnosed 18 years ago with pcos but compared with what I've read, mine seems very minor. I don't know what type I have, tbh i haven't needed medication in years (metformin back then). I was told was insulin resistant back then..anyways reason I'm here, I've just moved back to the UK and wanted to look into pcos more.
For many years I've been suffering with different kinds of joints and body pain, from most major joints in my body. I get told… read more

Low Sex Drive
Is there anyone who has low libido? I feel like I do but I act like I dont to pleasure my partner. Often times Idont want him to grab me or anything. What do you ladies do to fix that?
Yes, this has happened to me. It's the hormone fluctuations. As I got older the urge started to decline more and more. When I became pregnant, I didn't want sex. Only one time we had sex when I… read more
Acid Reflux
Ever since ive gained weight from pcos I have the worst acid reflux. I take Omeprazole for the pain but i know i shouldnt be on it for long its very dangerous but man that pain is no joke. What do some of you ladies do about it naturally?
You can drink Alkaline powder (A Vogel make one in South Africa) not sure who would make it where you are.
Reduce caffeine, gluten, dairy and acidic foods in your diet.
Has Anyone Used Ovusense?
Thoughts?

Pregnancy
What was your weight and height when you got pregnant and if you didn’t did you speak to a doctor for TTC if so what did they say?
No, I needed to get my insulin resistance and inflammation under control. The supplements I used both!
Hair Growth
I know this is something many women experience with having PCOS. I've experienced it for years now even though I was just diagnosed late 2016. Do yall shave the hair or just let it be??
I use PCOS Naturals facial hair stuff. I don't have 2 shave but every 3-4 weeks...even then it's only a few hairs I can pluck. U should check them out www.pcosnaturals.com
Exercise And Diet
I've always struggled with my weight but now I'm in my 30s and was recently diagnosed with diabetes type 2 which is common in my family genes and this time I really want to become healthier I'm more determined than I've ever been and I could use advice... So my question is what kind of exercises and diets do you ladies do or have done to lose weight and keep it off
Thank you all for the help
Hair Texture Changes?
I know that its normal for hair to change over our lifetimes, but in just a few short years my hair transitioned from mostly straight to incredibly curly and unruly. I read a study that claimed testosterone can change the shape of the hair follicles. Anyone else go through this?
My hair changed when my doctor inserted an IUD, claiming it would help with everything. Fast forward six months my hair is unruly, and SO thin that it's causing major depression. Searching for ways to… read more
