Re: So, health stuff. (I'm the anon who once posted about the skipped periods)

If PCOS were just about being overweight and having facial hair, then you'd have a valid point about not wanting to be "cured", but it's way more than that. It affects your risk of type II diabetes, uterine cancer, high blood pressure/cholesterol, depression, fatty liver disease and heart disease, among other things.

So-- and I'm trying to say this gently here-- regardless of what you "feel", it most certainly is a sickness, one that requires treatment if you want to avoid increasing your risks of those conditions. Several of those conditions are very much life-threatening, and all of them significantly affect your quality of life.

So please, listen to your doctors. This isn't something to dismiss lightly, even if you're comfortable with the superficial symptoms because the superficial symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg.
