PCOS is a CURSE and science is working at a snails pace
I just saw an article about how apparently, there was a structure behind the ovary that was erased from anatomy textbooks. Its called, the “rete ovari” and now theres some speculation that it may be linked to PCOS and menopausal symptoms
I swear, if PCOS was a man’s disease, there would be so much research and it would have been cured by now. Its not fair. How much longer will we have to deal with this insufferable ass condition??
We have to work so much harder to achieve basic things and this facial hair and fat retention is going to be the death of me. Im thankful that theres been some recognition of the disorder in recent times but, I can’t take the weight gain, fatigue and facial hair anymore.
The worst part of all of this? The ONLY thing that’s worked for me thus far, the glp1’s, arent covered by my insurance! So its between 300-700 dollars a month depending on which glp1 i get.
Its a sick, sick joke and even though im only 20, it feels like ive aged 30 extra years. I’ve broken down over this stuff in the past because, unless youre rich, youre forced to live life on hard mode. So much money goes just to doctors appointments and pharmacy copays. I just watch as girls my age have things come so easily for them, no hirsutism, fat retention, or fatigue. It’s not fair.
Im glad theres atleast spaces like these with ladies who get what im going through but, man does this shit suck!
