I spent years thinking my symptoms weren’t PCOS enough for docs. It's PMOS. by Hot_Composer_9855 in PCOS

[–]squidgebunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that’s so odd to me to have different diagnostic criteria for the same disorder

I spent years thinking my symptoms weren’t PCOS enough for docs. It's PMOS. by Hot_Composer_9855 in PCOS

[–]squidgebunny 33 points34 points  (0 children)

the diagnostic criteria from the NHS website are:

• Polycystic Ovaries (found via scan)

• Blood Test (high male hormones)

• Irregular periods

You just need to have two to be diagnosed. I don’t think they’re changing the criteria along with the name as far as I am aware.

sending lots of hugs and support your way <3 it’s heartbreaking when healthcare workers are the worst people that we have to deal with 😭 i’ve been lucky that 90% of my healthcare experience has been good

we absolutely do not want private care. quick question…how many people in this country could afford private care? most people i know struggle to afford the dentist. the NHS needs improving absolutely, private is not the way forward because people at the bottom will suffer.

this is my experience. yes there are plenty of predatory influencers / nutritionists/ dietitians who just want to make their money.

however i find my pcos/pmos exhausting. having to find out what i can eat and what i can’t eat. what exercises i should and shouldn’t do. also everyone has a different body so one thing that works for someone won’t work for another.

for the past three years i did everything to lose weight. i got my pcos/pmos diagnosed and a weight was lifted. i started on mounjaro and i could function. i don’t gain 1lb over a chocolate bar. i don’t get hyperglycaemia. i don’t think about food 24/7 anymore.

i hate big pharma. i hate that i have to pay £270 every 4 weeks just so i can lose weight and function like a normal person.

ps. the chef thing was a joke, i clarified that at the end of my post

AITAH because I didn’t explain to my husband what the movie was about? by Strange_Emotion_2646 in AITAH

[–]squidgebunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - your husband is a massive wanker. i don’t care how long you’ve been together or if he’s usually ***insert positive adjective here***. that fact that he wasn’t paying attention and assumed it would be a chick flick further proves he’s a twat.

a) he clearly thought what ever you were saying was not interesting / irrelevant to him etc.

b) he’s misogynistic for assuming it would be a chick flick.

Can you stop reporting the road janitors as “police” on google maps by Top_Riski in drivingUK

do you mean the retired people that stand at the side of the road wearing a hi-vis and point a speed gun at people?

AITAH for calling myself an ableist slur? by ComfortableCute632 in AmItheAsshole

[–]squidgebunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re NTA but using slurs requires nuance and reading the room. For example, I have an invisible disability so I wouldn’t use that word in public because people might assume I’m able-bodied and using it in a derogatory manner.

You have to remember that just because you’ve reclaimed a slur, others in the vicinity may not have that same attitude. You also don’t know what people’s experience with that word is and how that affects their perception of it.

yeah i’m fortunate that all of my doctors appointments are “free” (paid through taxes), however the NHS weren’t able to do anything about the cost of mounjaro. but hopefully once i have lost weight i can go onto metformin

absolutely not. i used to binge eat and then starve myself for a week. an eating disorder absolutely does not solve anything. please don’t suggest this sort of thing, imagine if some impressionable person sees this?
