Help! Just diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I am in so much pain. Last week I was diagnosed with PCOS, and I will need a hysterectomy. Just what I want... a tricky disease and more surgery. I have severe pain in my ovaries from the cysts to go along with my chronic pain. SMH. Every day I am curled up in my bed with pain that's like early contractions. I can't have surgery until I complete my six months of treatment on Xarelto (blood thinner) from the pulmonary embolism I got in November. I have about six weeks left on the anticoagulants, which are causing me to lose a lot of blood everyday. Right now my hemoglobin is 10, and if it drops below that, I will need another blood transfusion. I had two units of blood and a unit of iron in November when I was hospitalized. I'd like to know your story on how you personally deal with this disease.
Thanks!
