Went to an endocrinology second opinion today with a consultant, for the following symptoms
- persistent bloating
- Oily bad skin and hair
- Hair doesn’t grow and eyebrows don’t grow
- Tired all the time
- Very very thirsty when I wake up / always dehydrated
- History of polycystic ovaries and raised testosterone levels
- Thyroid range is apparently normal.
The conversation literally went like this
“Do you get irregular periods or hair growth?”
“Not really, some hairs under my chin”
“Then there’s nothing we can do for you”
So I asked how the rest of my symptoms wouldn’t be hormonal. He just said relieve stress…
I asked him is there a link between PCOS and insulin control (I know there is). I have excessive thirst and I get very dizzy/weak when hungry but tested negative for diabetes.
He said I’m probably just a thirsty person …
He then offered the pill which is the answer to everything lol. I said I’ve been on the pill most of my adult life and it doesn’t help.
Does this sound normal, I feel pretty fobbed off
