PCOS - Any tips?
Im 100% sure I have adrenal #PolycysticOvarySyndrome .
Posting this is really testing the limits of my courage. But I need some advise.
Since I was twelve I‘ve been bullied for my excessive hair growth (all over my body), mostly on my face. Also because of acne.
I have irregular periods, like either it’s only a little more than spotting or it’s really heavy flow with intense pain.
I’m literally always exhausted but that could also be not getting enough sleep and depression.
I have social anxiety and depression which often correlate with PCOS.
I have sleeping problems and digestive problems like ibs.
I’m literally always anxious or on edge.
Even when I do something relaxing, but that could also be lingering trauma.
I haven’t gone to the gynaecologist yet,
because I was too scared and would only want an blood test…
Also I would need a pill to settle this and this is hard for me, like I can’t swallow things.
Currently I’m just fed up with all the waxing and plucking of hair. It takes up soo much time and energy. Especially if I’m depressed….
I read that laser hair removal can be effective but only in combination with hormones.
Any tips or advise?
Update: I’m currently on my period and I’m in pain everywhere. ChatGTP says it’s connected with PCOS. I have crampsthat I feel in my back and thighs, a hedache and every joint in my body hurts. And I’m sick…
I’m used to it. Buts it’s annoying still.
