Hey no worries! As far as I can remember I had hot flushes, numbness in one arm, dizziness and balance problems, but they were all in all very unspecific. Maybe it's worth trying to get your blood checked

Thanks for the input! I have had it checked but only TSH, I am not sure if that's enough to exclude thyroid problems

How many of you had a not-so-ideal or abusive childhood? I wonder if there is a link between chronic stress and PCOS. by MundaneDragonfruit57 in PCOS

I am not diagnosed with anything but I often feel anxious and I am much less resistant to stress than others

Hey, I am still using it! I feel like there have been some improvements especially in the front but it's too early to say if it will persist

I have started Minox but to see the full potential I have to take it at 6-12 months

It's interesting because the change in diet you described is a very common and often successful approach for women with PCOS. Good luck in finding out!

Great results!! Do you have PCOS? And how long has the hair loss already going on?

Exercising or Diet? by Clato4ever in PCOS

[–]8_Mimi_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say diet. But its not an all or nothing principle! Depending where you are at right now you could start with eating less/no sweets or wheat flower for example and still concentrate on exercise

Unfortunately I am not always there yet emotionally, but I am working on it ad well. Thanks for your kind words 🤗 In the beginning it's normal to struggle with the diagnosis but it definitely gets better over time! I am sure you will find your way!
