What Can I Do For Tiredness And Every Day Headaches?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Bridgend, UK

I have been feeling like I want to fall asleep again recently and to fight to keep myself awake I have been drinking coffee. I have also been having headaches a lot recently. My fiance pointed out that there is a possibility that the coffee could be the cause of headaches. But what if it's not the cause of the headaches. I have had this problem before where I'd suffer with headaches everyday, I wasn't drinking coffee back then. Any tips and advice is welcome thanks in advance.

Jawline/Chin Acne Recommendations

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Carrollton, TX

Does anyone have any recommendations for products to clear jawline/chin acne? I'm trying to conceive and have been off birth control for almost a year now and my skin is breaking out and I get white heads and blackheads constantly now. When I treat the pimples, my skin gets red, itchy, and flaky instead so it feels like a losing battle. I need something vegan and cruelty free and safe for conception/pregnancy. Any advice?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Bridgend, UK

I'm going to try to see my doctor today about my bad wrist & also to have my bloods done. I'm going to ask her about thyroids and to see if I have low iron levels as I have been feeling really tired shake headachey ect. Is there anything else i should ask her to check that could be causing this? Thanks.

Was your TSH close to 1? Because the range of normal for that measure is crazy wide and doesn't mean you shouldn't get medical attention IMO

You probably need more than just chin hairs. Think you'd see multiple body changes due to hormone imbalance.

No Period For 7 Months

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Staten Island, NY

Hi. I am writing to ask you what you think about this situation. My daughter is 22 and used to get her period, but was irregular. All of a sudden she stopped getting it for months, was on birth control but hated the side effects so I took her to an endocrinologist who felt she had PCOS based on all the blood workup that was done. She put her on Metformin and my daughter started to get her period again but then it stopped. Right now her metabolism is good, her testosterone levels are good… read more
