Open Anxiety

I suffer from anxiety, not as bad as when I was in my teens. I would get so anxious I couldn't leave my room at times. Still, when I'm getting ready for any sort of social or important event, I get very anxious and nervous. I still occasionally suffer from panic attacks.

Treatments

Paxil Somewhat Helpful

I was on paxil for years and it did help somewhat. I am not currently on it but I feel that therapy has helped much better

Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

I am in the process of finally getting help for pcos after 12 years of sonograms, excruciating pain, and doctors who told me the only help is to keep trying new birth control until it resolves. Now i've been to an endocrinologist who says that there are other methods, such as a diabetic medication that will help. I'm so excited that I may finally be helped!

Open Endometriosis

Treatments

Extended-Cycle Birth Control Not Working

I have been on every birth control imaginable to no avail...

Lupron Working / Worked

It worked for the 6 months i was on it but now I am in the process of finding out if its pcos or the return of my endometriosis is to blame for my discomfort

Open Hypothyroidism

I have just recently been diagnosed with hashimotos disease...it has not yet affected my thyroid, but it will eventually..my endo did very little to explain the condition, so i am kind of nervous about it being an auto immune disease...
