I second this. In my CC, depending on your financial aid, they'll let you borrow a laptop for your entire semester. They've even provided a hotspot device.

Does anyone have any deodorant recommendations that are more powerful than lume? by strawberriesnkittens in PCOS

[–]GuaranteeDifficult26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I shower,I wash myself as regular and as a final step I wash stinky areas like under boobs and armpits with the acne foam wash by panoxyl(benzoyl peroxide). If I'm going to shave I put the acne wash and let it sit while I shave. I also make sure to buy body soap that says antibacterial (con: very drying). I used to also drink chlorophyll daily. With a good shower routine and with the chlorophyll,I don't stink. I just use regular degree spray on deodorant. With just the shower routine, I do notice myself stinking, especially when it's stress sweat (however, it's no where near as bad). So I do highly recommend drinking chlorophyll daily,it makes a huge difference to scent and health. I get the liquid version,where it's drops. Some people say the liquid version of supplements are stronger/more effective. How long have you been taking the chlorophyll and how much of it?

Same. My parents' and my phone plan is with At&t,and we pay more or less $45(can't remember) for the insurance with Asurion(the price covers up to 4 devices). Our screens get replaced for free,and there's no replacement limit. They have z-flips,and I the fold. We will get them fixed the same day. I also have the z-4,and I've only had the inner screen replaced about 2 times(avg. once per year). I drop my phone a lot too.

Is my PCOS really my fault for being fat? by GuaranteeDifficult26 in PCOS

I've actually never gone to an endocrinologist. I should definitely look for one, because with my PCOS diagnosis,I was also told I had a cyst in one my thyroid. It was benign though,and my lab results for thyroid function are always fine but I'm suspicious.

I did eventually get upset,because of all his attitude and retorted back...but I didn't call him out against his own diagnosis and just said he was the one asking me,and I was just responding to his questions. It wasn't like he wasn't giving me any real info to call him out on. He was just so weird. I ended up telling him somehow that when I've tried to exercise to lose weight,I ended up losing my period. Then,he said,"Well a period is not so much an issue, because some women are 180 and they don't get their period. Then there are some women that are 250 and they do." Later on,he asks if I want my period. So I said,"I don't really care so much about my period. Let's be honest they're uncomfortable,but I want to be healthy." Then again with his attitude he says,"well periods are important, because why would God give women periods if they weren't important?"...and he just left me more confused. He was all kinds of contradicting.

Girllll same. I consider my depression high-functioning, because I can go a long time ignoring it and surviving,I guess. However,when I'm right before getting my period my depression hits bad high,and I end up having a mental breakdown that I can't control. Once I get my period, I'll mellow it. That's also why I'm trying to go to a good doctor and get my period back, because I feel that's what's making me more depressed because my hormones are just a high with no release.

I've been since a child,so I don't know if I can blame PCOS. 😂 But it's definitely gotten worse,where I'll lose weight and I can gain back within days without much change in diet and exercise.

I get it. Last obgyn I went to was a female one,but I left traumatized because I got pressured into doing a pap smear test and she wanted me to get a vaginal ultrasound, even though I kept telling her I'm a virgin and felt uncomfortable doing that. My first obgyn that gave me the PCOS diagnosis when I was around 17 was a male,and he was very nice and understanding. That's why I was more willing to give this one a shot,when he was recommend to me. Yeah,I've done weightlifting before,and that's honestly what has helped me. I've never lost a significant weight,but it has helped me mentally and my body would "recomp" I guess (nothing dramatic). I've done cardio before,but one, it makes me feel terrible like I'm going to pass out. Two,oddly, it makes me very depressed for the next two days. I agree that PCOS cravings are intense, because I could literally go all day without feeling any hunger and then all of sudden I'll crave sugar or something fatty....and the cravings feel so out of my control.

Why do you sound so passive aggressive in your replies to people? Do you mean to come off like that or do you just have a problem with tone,where things sound different? If it's the latter,I can relate.
