    This is such a beautiful story, and one very close to home. My best friend has suffered from PCOS her entire life as well. She's at the point, in her 30s, that she's completely given up on the idea of ever living a "normal" life and/or having a baby (which she wants more than anything else). I'm going to pass your story onto her to hopefully give her hope to believe she can decrease her symptoms that make her feel so insecure, lose weight, and maybe even get pregnant eventually. Thank you so much for being brave and sharing.

    Your story is very inspiring and shows someone who simply did not give up no matter what. My daughter also has PCOS but struggles with hypoglycemia (of course caused by too much insulin released when she eats refined sugar) and struggled with bad acne in high school which is also a side effect of it. She however didn't have the weight issue thank goodness but ended up in the ER many times due to severe pain and the college she went to was always worried that she was having trouble with her appendix so they always had to rule that out. After being on the depo shot for about a year and struggling with those side effects she is now trying it without the shot and now has a lot of cysts in her breasts which they are telling her will go away eventually.

    But you are one person who had the cards stacked against you and have shown that you can do it and get healthy with enough determination and positive support around you. Great job.:drinker:

    That's so awesome. I have PCOS and for a long time I was told the same thing as you. Just put the fork down, stop eating, you're not exercising. But with a good doctor and the right prospects you can really do it!

    You're just awesome. ^^.
