I have a friend with endo who had a baby, and then she told me she got so much better.

I have pcos, and wasn’t diagnosed till I was in my 50’s. When I see how it has reached into all the areas of my life, and damaged me, it makes me angry I didn’t find out about it sooner.

I walked into the office of a diabetes specialist, and as she walked in the door she said, I would bet anything you have pcos. I had never heard of it before.

But all these years when I been struggling like a maniac with my weight, hair growth, hair loss, menstral pain, skin rashes, etc..... It would have been nice to know it was freaking HORMONAL!!! (appropriate raise in voice here!!!)

I’ve always wondered why my triglycerides were through the roof, no matter what I ate.

I can relate, dear, between pcos and endo my body is a wreck.

My doc diagnosed pcos on sight, I have the telltale dark “duck ring” on my neck. I’d been scrubbing the crap outta my neck for years thinking it was just dirtier there for some reason, lol.

I’m type 2 diabetic along with so I take Metformin (2000mg/day) for both that and the pcos.
