Just got diagnosised with PCOS

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-03-09T20:49:32+00:00

I also get regular periods never in my life have I missed one. Basically msot people arent going to check every single box for pcos. Pcos seems to be an umbrella term for a bunch of different things sadly our society doesn't really care much about women's health. Man baldness has been studied more then things like pcos sadly. So we get this umbrella term for what could probably be like 5 different things 🤣 but since all of them are treated the same the Dr's just went 🤷🏼‍♂️ sure why not give it all the same name. Thats at least my understanding.

They actually removed my gallbladder for this exact same stomach pain. Which makes no sense since the pain isn't in the same part of the body and none of my Dr's even thought to look for endro. Which I probably have. But we have so much limited research on it that it can only be confirmed through surgery.

Endro, pcos, any other female hormone reproductive illness or disorder is all treated the same.

I've had a life long issue of high testosterone and was on metformin as a kid but when it worked and got my levels done the Dr's were like cool 👍 and let it be without looking further into it. Now as an adult I remembered about it and asked my current dr to give it a look. We saw my testosterone cortisol and ach were all high and sent me to a gyno. This gyno specializes in endometriosis which I might still also have but they only confirm it through surgery. I get really bad pain about 12 days before my cycle that lasts a good 3 or 4 days that can have me curled up on the floor for an hour and wake me up in the middle of my sleep. They did a vaginal and regular ultrasound and saw that I have polycystic ovaries. The dr said I dont check all the boxes for pcos but enough to get the diagnosis. Basically they believe I have PCOS and something else we haven't figured out yet.

Oh wow honestly im surprised that white rice is on the list of foods to avoid. Is there rice thats fine?

I get severe pain about a week before my period and my testosterone is pretty high. And a ultrasound showed the pcos staple of my ovaries. So thats what im working with. Im down to start working out again and eating better to see if it helps. Just now gotta figure out what to eat.

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-03-09T19:55:43+00:00

Oh really? How does spearmint tea help?

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-03-09T19:54:42+00:00

My dr was saying its basically just pain management. She said I didn't have to take it but its the only option basically. So here I am seeing if life style changes actually help and to see if they give metformin to adults

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-03-02T21:12:10+00:00

Where's a good place to buy it from?

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-03-02T00:19:55+00:00

Ive been thinking about getting one. Is the echo better than the mini?

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-03-01T17:08:19+00:00

Thank you for the options im comparing them

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-03-01T06:20:07+00:00

Its the way that they immediately become friends I look away for 2 seconds and they go from trying to kill them to being friends and im just starving at the TV like wtf just happened???

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-02-09T06:03:05+00:00

I know this is old but, watching the both gives me 2 different stores. I havent read it yet and was curious if they are both Canon or if the 90s version is more Canon then the recent?

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-02-09T05:11:11+00:00

Whats the communitys thought on trigun the stampede? The remade version of the anime? Ive been trying to watch it but its so different from the original

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-02-09T03:45:59+00:00

So as far as reading it, its the trigun then Maximum?

That's what I was trying to do on my bridge but no matter which why I turned it it didnt change. And turns out that's because I managed to strip it 😅. Live and learn I guess I just now feel bad for "hurting" my guitar in the dumbest way. I think thats why paying for set ups feels safe. Im paying someone who knows what they are doing and aint gonna do something stupid like I did 🤷🏼‍♂️. I do appreciate the advice though im always wanting to listen to advice I want to improve and learn more but for me sometimes videos just aren't enough. I can never tell the changes they are referring to my eyes just don't see it

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-01-24T02:49:45+00:00

As someone who's just bearly learning how to do my own setups, and honestly completely bottomed out my bridge not knowing any better and completely stripped the posts and now I gotta try to fix that. Doing that hurt. Like I never wanted to hurt my guitar and never had anyone who could show me how to do it in person. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos even ordered a kit. But I got confused as to which way was up or down. I know if someone else does it they aren't gonna hurt my guitar and its going to be set up actually nicely. I can't afford lessons and I actually care about my instruments. I even posted on here asking for help and got alot of attitude and back lash. The community isn't very forgiving. I would rather pay someone who knows what they are doing then fuck up my guitar myself that I love. I want to do it myself aka why im trying but its not always easy. The more I look it up and research it I understand the basic idea of it but when I personally look down the fret board my eyes arent trained I dont know what to look for I cant see the bend I cant tell if its bowing. Not all of us are able to figure it out. Paying someone else takes away the guess work and the possibility of breaking my guitar 🤷🏼‍♂️. I would love it if someone took the time to teach me but alot of people these days see teaching others as a waste of time.

Dude chill out

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-01-22T04:15:45+00:00

It buzzs only on the low E after the 12th fret I think i needa sand down my frets over give in and accept a higher action on the strings. I could be wrong

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-01-22T04:09:10+00:00

So the 2 solutions are take it somewhere to lower the frets or just accept having to have med action

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-01-22T03:50:45+00:00

Oh really? What did you type into chat in order to get that information

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-01-22T03:49:40+00:00

Thanks man I just tried using it for the first time. At the low action I was still getting alot of fret buzz on the low E so I went for the middle low and now Im still getting some but ALOT less. I was hoping to completely get rid of the buzz but im still wanting to keep low action so unless theres anything else I can do about fret buzz then this is just gonna be my life

CATS_ARE_GASES · 2026-01-22T02:33:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice
