Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionHypothyroidism and PCOS, double whammy for depression.
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Can't live without it. It helps with the fatigue. And I don't obsess over things as much - it's easier to let it go.
- Dancing Working / Worked
- My personal theory is that dance is joy. Dance is my life's work, and no matter what else is going on with me, I always feel joyful when I'm dancing.
Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I'm PCOS but not trying to conceive.
Treatments
- Metformin Somewhat Helpful
- Strange, but straight metformin seems to help more than the XL version.
- Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
- I take Ovcon, which I consider a major blessing in my life. The estrogen gives me a real boost in my feeling of well-being.
- Surgery Working / Worked
- I had an endometrial ablation to cut down the heavy bleeding. You cannot get pregnant afterward, but, thankfully, I was already blessed with two beautiful children.
Open Hypothyroidism
Hashimotos, diagnosed 15 years ago. Also PCOS and Depression.
Treatments
- Synthroid Somewhat Helpful
