Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD)

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a multi-organ involved disease or a condition that is created due to hormonal imbalances in women. It is also known as hyper androgen related disease, which is not curable but can be controlled.

I am 25 years old and I was diagnosed with this two years ago. Ever since I found out that I had this, I just didn't know what to do... you see, I am still single and currently have no boyfriend. Questions that came into mind was endless. I didn't look for answers but rather explanations and reasons. My ambitions changed, my perspective shifted. I didn't know why but it was like the whole world dropped on me. And to make things worse, I had to pretend that it didn't bother me. That this was something not to bother with.

My life now revolves with my family and the problems that they have. With that, my life was out of the questions. It was like I was given the task to make sure that everyone is happy and that I could not share my problems with them. That's how I felt. You see, whenever I feel like ranting about my life - my health problem, my work or my friends; my family just turns their back and nudges it off...like it was not as important as the one that they are having.

Part of my reasons for this blog is to share my experiences having PCOD. The meds that I am taking, the prescriptions that my doctor is giving me and most importantly the battle with this.
Someday, when my blog is being read by more than me, I hope that my experiences will be able to help them realize that they are still normal.

Having PCOD is tough in my personality, emotions and life.
