Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

I am so very sick and tired of this headache!!!! I swear I have had it for a month now. Sometimes it get so bad I can hardly move and other times are like now…it just here bothering me. I take Topamax and that used to keep my migraines at bay but it just not working any more. My doc told me to find out what my insurance will cover so we can try something else. It is all very overwhelming. And I have to go to work. It is exhausting. Praise God for Rizatriptan. It gives me some break so I can at least get through my work day. How do y’all handle life during bad migraine times?

Not sure what my deal is anymore. Changed depression meds and that has helped me not have migraine and that is great. But the new meds don’t work as well. And I never really have been completely sure that it is a depression thing. I just get overwhelmed and things bother me and people annoy me and lights are too bright and noises are annoying and time passes to fast and i procrastinate too much and I have intrusive thoughts that are just INSANE!!!!! So is all of that from ADHD???? And I mean….i suppose it all causes depression. But dang….what is a girl to do? I’m to old for this shit. I just want to work and come home and enjoy my life. And I truly don’t wanna try any more meds and face side effects so I just gonna stick with what I got. It does help a little. I just need some advice. Some ideas. Some thoughts from anyone who feels the way I do.

Hi- I’m a 48 year female mother dealing with lots of health and mental health issues. My mom passed away a year ago and it sent me on a downward spiral. That along with having long term covid symptoms which caused what they think was a NSTEMI heart attack. I also have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, severe migraines, TMJ, PCOS, endometriosis, chronic fatigue and going through menopause, my body is in constant pain and doctors can’t figure it out so I’ve given up hope! My finances suck because of the world today and we are barely getting by. My job is super stressful and most days I force myself out of bed because I don’t want my son to see what’s happened to me and I’m ashamed. I did grief counseling briefly and quit because I couldn’t afford it. I now have social anxiety and when I’m not working I hide in my home. I’ve pushed most my friends and family away because I’m ashamed that I cannot cope with my feelings. Most days I wish I wasn’t here anymore but I don’t want to hurt my family. I just don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel like I’ve tried everything and nothing has helped! I do not like the person I’ve become. Am I alone?

I need to share this information with every woman I know that has PCOS.
My husband and I have been trying to have a child since we got married but it’s been so difficult bc I have PCOS.

These are things I’ve learned along the way while being under the care of a specialist:

Take myoinositol and don’t stop working out please. No physical activity increases risk of heart disease and diabetes but with PCOS it increases your risk. Also get good sleep and take melatonin if you can’t sleep. PCOS messes with your sleep and increases chances of depression (bc hormones).
PCOS really wreaks havoc and I had no idea how hard it would be to conceive.
See a specialist to help regulate your cycle with natural progesterone. Treatment reduces your risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Thanks for reading. 🤗 I love you!
