Update time, still living with PCOS

Hi All,

It's been over a year since I first posted on here, so I thought it was about time for an update.  Just rereading what I wrote over a year ago, still to this day makes me cry.  Tears of happiness of course, I remember sitting in that doctor's office and finally having that feeling that I was not on my own, and I was not the only one with these feelings and issues.  That is why I have made this blog, because I have realised that not everyone has the same supportive friends and family that I have, so this is me offering an ear for listening and a shoulder to lean on.  I believe that everyone needs a supportive place where they can feel safe to share, and that they have a support person who knows what they are going through.  So if you need someone like that, I want you to know that I am here, and I will always be here for you.

So update time, I am still at Uni, I am almost finished, YAY :).  But besides that, I am still on no medication, as I started to feel like the doctors here were blaming the PCOS on me, so I have decided to continue on my journey without them.  I am still losing weight, slowly of course. The acne and facial hair are still present, but not stopping me from living my life, the way I want to.  I have come back out of my shell and enjoying my time with friends at uni.  I still have to remind myself that I am not controlled by my PCOS, but I control it, and I am going to live my life the way I want too.

So that's me for today, I know short but sweet, hopefully. :)

Just remember it's your life, and you choose how to live it.

Love Laura
