Recently found out..

[Untoldlies]

Hi, I'm new here... I'm 15 and I recently found out that I'm diagnosed (I guess that's what you call it) with PCOS
I've read some things on the net and well to be honest it scared me but now I'm over the shock and it's finally sinking in.

I was wondering if you guys would share with me the symptoms you've had, I know most of the symptoms that come along with PCOS from websites I read but they vary a lot and was hoping to hear it from someone who was also diagnosed with it.
Thanks.

Hi my name is Katie, I'm 18 and was diagnosed about 6 months ago but have had PCOS for years. I have the excess hair on my upper lip, tummy and on my back, and the weird side burn things. I also have the skin cyst acne and pain from the cysts twisting. I have high insulin and that causes dark patches on my elbows and the back of my neck. I have no periods, but I recently went on the pill to correct that! It's still hard sometimes to think about all that, but it gets better I promise!
