Hello, I'm 24 (83.5kgs) and I got diagnosed with pcos last year in December, and it took me about a month to even open up about it with my family and they've come around to understanding that it is a huge problem only recently, and I visited a doctor (because I didn't get my period for 2 months now) who obviously asked me what I've done since I got to know about this and I just said nothing, because all I've been doing is reading about things and getting stressed because it's too much information at once. She then put me on a small dose of meprate 10mg, We also realised that I have an insulin resistance of 4.66 and she did suggest medication but I said I would try without it for a few months before doing that since it has some side effects relating to the gut. And since I've also had a problem with anal fissures in the past, I kind of have to be very of anything that can mess with it.

However, after taking meprate 10mg for three days, I had very bad side effects, kept having hot flashes and I had fever and I was ultra depressed and it just sucked, I also since then feel constantly hungry, like even after meals, anyway this was a little over a week ago, and she said that if my period didn't come in a week, I'd have to get an ultrasound and obviously I kept hoping it would but I've just been feeling light cramping now and then but otherwise nothing. So I got paranoid and I kept looking for pregnancy tests and I kept doing them everyday, even went to a diagnostic centre to get beta HCG done, not pregnant. So, definitely pcos, I don't even know if it's pcos or pcod because it just said I had polycystic orientation of ovaries and a grade 1 fatty liver in my last ultrasound in December.

I'm just very lost, I don't know anything about pcos/pcod and I need to get back to normalcy because I haven't exercised in 2+ years because I met with 2 bad accidents and my knee was based up, even now i start shaking if I am on my knee for longer than 15 seconds.

I guess I just need help understanding how to lose weight when everything is against you, how to get your protein and fibre, how to just motivate yourself to get better when nothing seems to be working and how to get through this because it's so difficult to even talk about this with the people around me, i just keep thinking that nobody is going to understand.

So please help me if you have any advice in any way or form on how I can simplify this in my mind, also if you have any protein intake ideas, and even brands for protein powder if you can recommend any you've personally used and it has worked for you.

Also if you've been put on any meds that counter insulin resistance, what's been your experience? Should I go ahead with that?

My last doctor in December recommended I drink carepcos and I haven't but should I? Is it okay?

Thanks for your help.
