[watever02]

i am 13 years old and i was diagnosed with PCOS when i was 11. i have bad problems with the hair and i was put on diannette. but after 6 months of taking it i got really dry itchy skin on my legs. it was so itchy i was scratching until i bled. i couldnt concentrate in lessons and was losing sleep at night so i had to come off dianette and my skin is immediately much better. Has any1 got any experience of the same problem as me and if any1 has any good advice i would love to hear it because my skins much better but my symptoms are coming back!!

I'm currently on Dianette and I'm thinking of going to my doctor and asking to be taking off it. I'm only 18 and I swear, the mood swings and way I'm feeling isn't right - I'll just sit for hours and think myself in the worst possible ways and I'll get unbelievably upset at anything. I've even quit my part time job because they said I'd have to tie my hair back, and I burst into tears after I caught people looking at my ugly sideburn things. Dianette is NOT working for me.

With that Pill, I also found that my skin on my face has no natural oils at all, like nothing. Sooo dry (think it'll be 'cause Dianette is used to treat servere acne as well as excess hair)
