AAAAAAUGH! Thank you! This was really cathartic to read, actually. I also have it and I hate it. I can often feel my ovaries aching, I am constantly fighting hair in weird places, and I had to have surgery in my early 20's to stop my uterus from trying to kill me. I need birth control to control the symptoms, but I have other more serious conditions that don't make that wise for me to take. PCOS is a miserable enough experience all on it's own without the stupid comments from outsiders.
My weird silver lining is that I am so dark blonde I'm nearly a brunette, and I'm growing bright red chin hairs. PCOS is turning me into a freaking Viking.
