Symptoms of Pcos?? Or Going Nuts! Posted: 07-06-05 14:23pm
Okies.
I have been poking some websites and I
seem to have a few symptoms of it and if I
did have it it would explain a few
things.
I have dark thick hair growing out of my
areola on both boobs, I have again the
same thich hair growing out of my chin and
I have smaller thinner, but still dark
ones on my top lip.
I have the skin flaps on my underarm, but
they have been there for years.
I have regular periods, kinda, they vary
from 28-35 days, depending on how much my
body wants to torment me. I get the
normal pms things, tender boobs, sore
nipples, sore back and left knee (which I
have been told is because of the fluid
build up)
i will often randomnly get sharpe stabbing
pains in my abdomain, often round the time
where I am or shoudl be ovulating it
varies from side to side but untill nwo I
have never really taken note of where its
coming from, but several times I have
thought I have had problems with my
apendix because the pain was so bad.
I was pregnant in december but lost the
baby at 7.5 weeks
i am 21, not on any birth control and I am
the rigth weight for my height, I dont
smoke and I will only ever drink maybe 4-5
times a year, I just dont like the taste
of it.
After I lost the baby and several times
since and the week before my drivign test
I woudl have severe gut spazms which if I
had not had my periods I would have sworn
it was like I was being kicked from the
inside.. But I was put on anti spazmodics
till my drivign test was over. Said it
was ibs but I presented no other symptoms
so I just figure that thats my way of
reacting to stress.
I will get very hyper when I eat sugary
foods, and by very its a understatment.
Sugar leves will go up and go down but I
am not diabetic as have been tested for
that loads of times.
I know you lot will probaly tell me to
just go to the dr, but going to him for a
bit of random body hair and some pain in
my side may not constitute as a valid
reason.
So.. Thoughts are appreciated..
Georgina

Askara, sounds like you have a very harsh
form of menstrual cramping. You need to
have some tests done to rule out other
problems.
The reason no one wrote a reply is because
no one can answer what is causing your
discomfort. If it is causing you to be
incapacitated during the pain-you need to
get to a Dr. Who will run the tests.
It's poosible that no one here has
experienced what you're going through.
Hence, since this a forum to share our
experiences-no one has experienced it.
Please, when you do find out, come back
here and let us all know what it was so
that we'll know you're ok.

Ovulation Pain Posted: 07-08-05 22:49pm
This is cool, one month it's on the left,
the next on the right, you can feel the
pain when the egg explodes out of the
follicle
that's normal, even without polycystic
ovary syndrome
hair around areola a wee bit is ok, unless
you have other masculinization (hoarse
voice, facial hair, etc.), you can have it
removed
pcos is treated with glitazones for
diabetes, like rezulin, or metformin...Is
used to even-out hormones, somehow
adjusting blood sugar helps with hormones
and restoration of fertility in pcos
you must see a doc to dx whether this is
pcos and get it treated right, don't be
afraid, it's more and more common in young
women for some reason

Aww thankyou guys.
Janey, other than the random nipple hair
there is excess har under by belly button,
all thick and black, I have hair popping
out of my chin.. This disturbs me to no
end! There is some that appears on my top
lip which every time I pluck them out I
cry so much cause it hurts like hell!
But I may print my list off as I cant
remember jack when I get to the docs and
let him play with it
chears ears!

Pcos Posted: 07-16-05 21:46pm
Askara I have pcos and I take
glucophage for it to regulate my insuline,
do you have any brown patches on your
skin? I too have extra hairs growing but
I just shave or pluck them if you get on
meds it will help. Let me know what you
find out.
