This is all really reassuring. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15 I am now 25. I never thought I would have children and we were blessed with a daughter 3 years ago. At 25 I have hair growth on my chin, upper lip, chest, stomach, back. I hate it. I also have noticed thinning hair in my crown. My husband today rubbed by head and asked if I was going bald. This was the last straw for me. I need to lose weight not only for me but for my family. Other issues I have are dry skin on my feet, elbows, neck and corners of mouth, skin tags and the thick velvet skin around my neck. My appearance has dropped since gaining weight after having my child. I am really happy to see that there is a chance these things will improve. Thank you ladies for sharing your stories. I am starting my low carb today.
