Any tips on managing PCOS? I was recently diagnosed and it makes a lot of sense with what Ive been experiencing the past year. And now trying to reduce the fatigue,headaches, and anxiety that may have been caused by it so it takes less of a toll on my work performance. Ive already used some of my sick days when its got really bad

Work with naturopath to take the right supplements, diet and strength training exercises. I was put on Metformin to improve insulin resistance.

Unfortunately there is so much mis information about PCOS. A naturopath is a good suggestion but also work with you primary care and gyno and read books about it on your own. You unfortunately need to do a lot of stuff on your own and it’s extremely different for everyone so you need to figure out what works for you. Years ago they just gave people BC to manage the symptoms which is just a bandaid really.

Some things that have worked for me - eating high protein, prioritizing strength training and sleep. I hate needs but acupuncture can really help some people!

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
