Hey there girls!
My name is Micky and I'm new here. For any of you who are new to PCOS, please hear this. I was diagnosed at 12 years old, at over 200 lbs. I had excess body hair, skin tags, no period, insane food cravings, no energy, high testosterone, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar.
I'm now 19 years old, I'm about 160 lbs (yeah, I used to be 145
Boohoo!), no body hair, no skin tags, and all my bloodwork is normal.
Atkins/low carbing saved my LIFE, along with a doctor's supervision and some medications. But now I'm off my meds (except the Birth Control to control my periods) and am doing wonderfully.
There is hope!! I've been living with it for 7 years, and it really doesn't seem like it's been that long. It's been pretty smooth for me, although I know it was probably easy from my mother catching on so early.
Anyway, just wanted to add my two (or 3) cents in and say hello!
Stay strong, girls!
