All my friends are already aware of my disease.... and at least 4 or 5 of those friends see how it tears me up emotionally.... I have PCOS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It is one of the leading causes for women not to be able to get pregnant. But other than that horrible factor it causes cancer! It makes me grow hair where women should not be growing hair(Face, chest, stomach, back, ect...)! It causes obesity and it is almost impossible to get rid of that weight. It can cause Diabetes but right now I am only insulin resistant. It caused my liver to get fatty. And since it wasn't caught as soon as it developed my body formed itself like a male's body.

I had it since I had hit puberty at 12 but it went un-detected until I was 15. One of my best friends was there for me when I first started having to deal with all the side effects. No teenager should have to nair their face every other day in fear of having something else be made fun of. I just wanted to be a normal teenager but that wasn't the case.. I was harrassed so bad over things I had no control of caused by this disease that I just wanted to die.

Now, I am still dealing with the hardships of this disease, dealing with the hair.. the inablilaty to lose any weight and so on... I just don't know what to do.... are there any sort of funds or whatnot that would pay for lesser privlaged woman with PCOS to get laser hair removal on their face? I mean I get turned down left and right for Jobs I just need some help with this.. It is causing me heavy emotional distress...
