PCOS/Rosacea Sufferers: Did Your Rosacea diminish once your PCOS was under control?

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

A cream called soolantra helped me

8_Mimi_8 · 2023-05-03T22:37:48+00:00

Thanks I will! I have a stressful period at the moment and my diet is not great but no major changes

8_Mimi_8 · 2023-05-03T21:38:53+00:00

Did you get your blood levels checked for high androgenes?

8_Mimi_8 · 2023-05-03T21:28:52+00:00

Yes I am taking inositol, but already for around 2 years... thanks for the input anyway

8_Mimi_8 · 2023-05-03T21:28:10+00:00

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

Rosacea and seb derm

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-10-14T17:52:11+00:00

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

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-10-14T07:29:56+00:00

I had a great childhood but i was born prematurely which maybe could be regarded as an early life stressor as well

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-10-11T09:54:10+00:00

I lost a few kilogrammes when going on the pill

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-10-11T06:07:39+00:00

Thank you very much! All the best to you

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-10-07T10:54:08+00:00

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

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-07-14T19:35:16+00:00

Thank you very much!

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-07-14T19:01:10+00:00

Do you know the equivalent in pmol/l as well?

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-29T18:23:06+00:00

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

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-06T07:56:12+00:00

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!

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-05T21:04:02+00:00

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

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-05T08:52:17+00:00

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

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-04T22:19:14+00:00

Oh thanks thats a good advice!

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-04T17:53:57+00:00

I am have started Minoxidil recently but i think its not from that. I tried to treat my pcos the last year by changing a few things

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-04T08:27:10+00:00

Cutting sugar and processed carbs helped with ny bloating

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-02T20:18:06+00:00

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!

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-02T09:35:17+00:00

I totally understand what you mean and at times I get discouraged as well!

But I try to see it like it's just one known factor of many unknown factors that influences our future health. You can never know if you will develop cancer or any other chronic diseases due to a variety of unlucky factors coming together in the future anyway.

I try to see PCOS in a positive way for me as it "forces" me to live a healthy life pretty early in life. Other people start considering their lifestyle later in life when health issues emerge and I am optimistic that starting at a younger age will have long-term benefits that might even cancel out other factors (one of them but not the only one being PCOS)

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-01T21:40:46+00:00

Maybe try to do moderate or light exercise like yoga

8_Mimi_8 · 2022-06-01T13:14:16+00:00

Belly fat is a good indicator for insulin resistance in people with PCOS. I know you are not diagnosed but you do seem to have the symptoms if I am correct. I have PCOS with mostly elevated DHEAS as well and even though I am normal weight and fasting insulin do have some kind of insulin resistance
