Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body.

When I was 17, a doctor told me I may have PCOS but after running several blood tests and after several ultrasounds, she came to the conclusion that I did NOT have PCOS.
I'm unsure of this. I've done a lot of research and I have a good majority of the symptoms common with PCOS.
I'm unsure of how to approach doctors about this condition. The last time I tried to speak with someone about they said my weight was the issue and that if i lost weight i would start my period again, my acne would go away, the excess facial hair would go away. She also told me because i had moderately high blood pressure she would not put me on birth control. Has anyone else had this situation happen to them?

I have gone to a few different doctors and brought up the idea that I might have PCOS. The doctor I just went to said that I didn't have enough symptoms, but would run the tests to rule out other similar things. Turns out I was right. You might just have to try different docs until you find one that listens to you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
