Getting a Bad Rap


Why is it that all of us with PCOS get a bad rap?  I was talking to someone the other day and they had never heard of PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome).  I was a bit amazed that this thing that has plagued my life for the past twenty plus years was never heard of by this person.  I am certain there are many others out there like this.

I went to the doctor several times and they told me the same old thing, "You need to push yourself away from the table."  Really, do you all not understand that we eat the same things we did when we were 120lbs?  The main cause of our weight is PCOS.  Insulin resistance, has anyone ever heard of that?  This is one of the biggest symptoms of PCOS. 

So, this is just one of those things us women with PCOS have to deal with.  We just have to accept the fact that 90% of the people out there including our family and friends are ignorant to PCOS and what it is.  I take that back, we don't have to accept it.  We can do everything in our power to get the word out about PCOS. ~Tammy
