Despite being diagnosed with PMOS and on birth control for about a year now, I still have cysts rupture every once in a while (not nearly as often). Usually, I either crouch down on the floor or lay on my side and pull my knees into my abdomen to relieve pain. I'm just curious what everyone else does when these sudden pains happen.
Hi everyone! I’ve been struggling with what I feel is PCOS for years now, but have never gotten a diagnosis due to not having any or enough cysts in my ovaries. The only diagnosis I did receive was POTS, and after that I just let the possibility of having PCOS go because no doctor thought I had it and all the doctors appointments and constantly being dismissed become too much to handle. But a few days ago some intense ovary pain landed me in the ER and the thoughts of PCOS were brought back up. Some of the major symptoms I’ve been experiencing these last few years have been irregular or missed periods, excess hair growth specifically on my stomach, darkening of my skin and loads of skin tags, intense anxiety and depression accompanied by brain fog and derealization, fatigue, weight gain that is hard to lose and intense sugar cravings. These symptoms have been extremely hard to deal with and I just want answers. While at the hospital, I was dismissed again, even though my bloodwork showed abnormal results like my WBC, Lymphocytes and Eosinophils being extremely elevated with no signs of infection along with an abnormal amount of RBC and mucus in my urine. My urine sample also showed that my ph was high and that my urines specific gravity was high but didn’t show whether it was due to excess amounts of protein, salt or glucose. These results were concerning and no tests were done to evaluate my ovaries or kidneys, I was just dismissed and sent home with 2 different narcotics. I’m writing this to ask if anyone else had symptoms/levels like this and if they could be linked to PCOS, and if I need to get a second opinion? What tests do I need to ask for and what questions should I ask a doctor? Sorry for this long post, I’m just at my wits end with all these symptoms ruining my daily life.
