Hi! I'm interested in connecting with women who have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Sorry if I put this in the wrong section!

I'm pretty sure I have PCOS and go in to the doc's in a few days for evaluation. Im not one to diagnose myself with diseases I read about online, but this hit so close to the mark!

Symptoms: obesity (most of the weight in my middle), prediabetic, high triglycerides and cholesterol, sleep apnea, terrible cystic acne on my lower face extending to my neck, depression and anxiety, skin tags, and my periods have started becoming irregular. There are others, but those are the main ones.

My primary never picked up on it (he says he doesn't deal with "womens' issues") but now I've got a new doctor. I'm really hoping I'm taken seriously. If I do have PCOS, it would explain so many things going on with my health!

Anyway, if you have PCOS, please contact me. Thanks!
