PCOS

10 years ago I had endometriosis, and had an Oophrectomy because the cyst was so big they coudn't cut it out. Every ultrasound I have, shows ovarian cysts.

I'm 5/1, 175 lbs, and have been gaining weight like crazy.  I feel like absolute garbage because I starve myself but can't then I become ravenously hungry and I eat like a pig, then I eat some more. I'm like a bottomless pit when AF is about to come around. Only right before.

I have orders for all these blood tests, have excessive hair on my chin, and most of my weight is in my abdomen.  Does this sound like PCOS? If so, what Came first? the PCOS or the Weight gain?

PLEASE HELP ME before I get so fat I kill myself!

Hi there and welcome! I replied to this this morning, but something must of happened when I posted it! ARGH! Sorry!

Yeah, it sure sounds like PCOS. There are some others things that should be checked out, but PCOS is the most likely cause of what is going on. I am sorry that you are feeling bad. Know that if is not your fault. PCOS causes all this including the uncontrollable hunger. Know that there are several things that you can do. A big one is eating right for PCOS. Below are some links for ya to help. This will help treat the PCOS and in turn help with everything. Regular exercise is also just as important. You can also take a insulin sensitizing med or go the natural route. Important supps and vits are a cal/mag/d/zinc combo, just make sure there is enough d, a good multi and extra B complex, a mercury free fish oil and a good probiotic. something that can help with the carb cravings are GTF chronimun.

I hope this has helped. I look forward to hearing about your appt. Keep me updated and let me know if I can help! Take care, Laura
