I've Been Experiencing Significant Memory Issues .Wonder There Is A Link Between PCOS And Cognitive Function?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Vietnam

I sought help from neuroscientists at various hospitals. However, they seemed skeptical, implying that I'm too young to be facing such memory problems. I'm starting to wonder if there's a relationship between PCOS and cognitive function, especially since hormonal imbalances, like those caused by testosterone, are known to affect memory.

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Virginia Beach, VA

I was curious whether anyone else has this in addition to PCOS? I thought when I was diagnosed with POTS that it had been caused by my Lyme disease (however I went through very intense Lyme disease treatment for 2-3 years since I was undiagnosed for over 10years with Lyme and I seemed to recover from most symptoms after treatment..) I finished treatment for it about 2 years ago. but I am still experiencing tons of dizziness/feeling like I’m going to faint recently and it feels like my POTS… read more

I don’t have POTS but I do experience light headedness spells and almost pass out. I have a cousin that has POTS though, so I know what you are going through.
