I had been so MIA for the last few years because I focused too much on my new work and I have not had the motivation to write. I would have ideas on what to write about but to actually write or type them here, feels like too much of a chore.
Anyhow, I finally decided to open this again and maybe document the stuff that I do instead of just keeping them in my head.
First stop, I have PCOS. That's Polycystic ovary syndrome.
I have had irregular menstrual cycle ever since my period started. At first I didn't give it much attention until I was
about 20 or 21 when I had terrible breakouts, super oily skin and hair and periods for once or twice a year.
After my first consultation, I was indeed diagnosed with PCOS. The OB advised me to take pills and/or to stop
working at night. Changing my wok schedule wasn't that easy so I decided to take contraceptive pills instead.
I had been on and off the pills since then there would be years that my menstrual cycle would seem normal but
then PCOS would always come back.
Fast forward to almost a decade after, I recently stopped taking pills again and it's my second month off of it.
My last OB advised me to take this condition seriously as she said that I wont get better by just relying on pills alone.
I have to start living a healthier lifestyle. I need to eat healthier, drink more water and be more active.
A week ago, I told myself that I will stop eating from fast food chains and drinking fancy coffee. I also need to stop
or at least lessen my sugar intake.
I will start posting a weekly summary of the things I ate during the entire work week so I can monitor my diet better.
Let's start at that. :)
If anyone's reading this, feel free to share your thoughts about PCOS, your exprience with it if you have it too and
what you do to cope with it.
