It's because the show is over a decade old, and this lady's initial visits to a doctor would have been well before that... PCOS didn't have the same level of awareness and understanding back then as it does now. You need to keep in mind that it really is over the last 5 years or so that this condition has really become as well known and talked about as it is. So while it may scream obvious to us watching this now, it wasn't then. That, and some doctors aren't very good at listening to people, and once the hormone pill started working, they likely didn't care to find the underlying cause.
It also screams thyroid disease. Ie under active thyroid. Gyno tried to tell me I had pcos but I rejected being put on anti diabetic medication without a diabetic diagnosis and because there was no cysts on my ovaries or anywhere. it turned out years later I actually had hypothyroidism. Pcos is not really a diagnosable condition but is assumed by symptoms and absence of any other condition. Whether you have cysts or signs of diabetes or not.
@@Marie.b PCOS can be diagnosed perfectly, and doesn't require diabetic medication in any case. Insulin immunity is not always part of PCOS and needs to be diagnosed separately. Sounds like your doctor wasn't just lazy, but crap at his job as well. Thyroid check should always come first.
I had the same experience with PCOS. As a child, I was never diagnosed I hardly ever had a period, and when I did it was so heavy that I had to stay home from school. All the doctors ever asked my mom, was: Is she pregnant? Years later, at 23 I got married and unexpectedly fell pregnant. After my son was born, I went in for a sonogram because of severe lower pelvic pain. The doctor looked shocked showed me the sceen... my ovaries looked like massive hanging grape bunches they were covered in cysts. He couldn't believe that I had a child. And told me that I would most likely not have another. But sill no advice on how to manage my syndrome, what caused it, what can make it better. No advice on insulin resistance or risk of diabetes. I was just left to my own devices. I DID have another baby 10 years later, and now at 42 I also have Type 2 Diabetes and Hashimoto's. But at least now I have popper medical care, medication and dietary help. I lost 20kg and for the first time in my life, I feel normal.
It’s still the same for me PCOS is basically genetic if your parents have it you will as well my mum had it than I had it and still do and now does my sister it’s taken my mum and my sister to go to a fertility unit to get advice on getting pregnant etc I wasn’t diagnosed till the age of 28 and I had mine my whole child hood
The last story was very touching. So happy for him that he was diagnosed in time & got the lungs he needed to survive. I love that he keeps a photo of the lung donor with him. Lovely man ❤❤
Found this ep very helpful. I have pcos but was brushed off by my gp at the time, told nothing, so ive just been living with it. This show has just told me that a lot of my physical problems are related to it directally! So a big thank you to all involved for this episode and for putting it up here.
I freaking called the PCOS diagnosis. I have PCOS and it's nowhere as severe as hers but I'm 18 and was diagnosed at 15. Anyway I'm so happy she was finally diagnosed and finally got to have kids
Same! I got diagnosed in March, just after my eighteenth birthday, after having one heavy, horrible period a year, fluctuating weight, hair here there and everywhere and dark patches on my fingers, toes and knees. The doctors always said "wait until everything settles down" but it had been six years and nothing was happening and I was about to go to uni so I said hey, something is wrong, people don't just have one period a year, I'm worried blood is building up and I'm going to get cancer so they ran some tests and found out that not only me, but my mum and grandmother had PCOS.
Doctors dont rly look for the rare diseases. They are trained to look at what’s more common. Typically diagnosis comes cuz of their clinical experience seeing a disease. With the sheer amount of diseases to remember from textbook, experience is essential to making a diagnosis.
Poor Emily, I also suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia and took 5 years to diagnose, it can become worse over time and the body builds up a tolerance to the medication if used long term, i am lucky as i only suffer 2-3 times a year and each attack lasts for around 4-6 weeks, for me it feels like i'm been electrocuted along with an ice pick rammed in to the jaw and then twisted
I truly hope a treatment is developed. Even though I don't know what you're going through I understand it must be hard. Best wishes to you and to everyone who suffers like this.
I think I understand how this feels. My wisdom tooth was sitting on that nerve and causing horrific pain. I was on opioid painkillers everyday. I had to tooth taken out and now that side of my face is paralysed. People are always shocked but it’s so much better than the pain. I couldn’t imagine lviving with that pain for the rest of my life. I’m glad it’s intermittent for you
I had PCOS 35 years ago and I ended up with having a total hysterectomy. I am 63 now and have heart disease. I was diagnosed by a gynaecologist but wasn’t given any treatment until I had the hysterectomy. I now think that I was mismanaged but it’s too late for me now.
So sorry to hear that :( I was diagnosed with both PCOS and diabetes the same day when I was 25 yo. I remember complaining to my mother about my period when I was a teen and she took me to a GP who just said oh it's nothing to worry about, every girl is different. I was having severe cramping, heavy bleeding, clots. I always had regular periods though, rarely missed one. It was the age of 25 that I came down with a UTI and went to the GP who said I was too young to be having UTI's. She did a pile of blood tests and then told me I had diabetes and I had to be referred to an endocrinologist. The endocrinologist diagnosed me with PCOS and diabetes and I was told I had both the same day. He explained I had the PCOS first from onset of puberty and that would've triggered the diabetes because it increases insulin level in your blood (as they said in this vid). Well I wasn't initially put on any treatment until a couple of years later I started having cyst after cyst forming on my ovaries. I got one big enough on my left ovary that I was referred to gynaecologist who wanted to do surgery. The cyst burst the night before surgery. I went for ultrasound and they found remnants of it left, and found one on my right also that wasn't big enough for surgery. So from that point it was recommended I go on bc pill... I did eventually from 2005 onwards. I'm now 46, turning 47 this year and still on bc pill. It's also being used to prevent migraines too as hormonal changes trigger migraines. But I have the skin tags and weight problems also. I have a list of other illnesses now which makes things difficult to manage. I guess at least they did diagnose me when I was younger and tried their best to help. I'm so sorry you didn't get that. Did you get diabetes also? They told me 50% of patients with PCOS get diabetes. :(
PCOS is well known, but it still took 12 years for me to be diagnosed. I was told, several times, that period pain was normal, weight gain was purely influenced by diet, and that there was nothing wrong. This was from female doctors as well as male doctors, and it just got brushed off, for twelve years. It is a common enough diagnosis, but very often it is overlooked.
I had stones in my salivary glands. The doctors found them by accident. When I was 17, I developed viral meningitis so they did an MRI to see if any anomalies in my brain and they found 2 stones in my salivary glands and that was why my ear and jaw were hurting. So I was sent for an ultrasound and they said they'll go away on their own and to manage the pain with medication.
You do know that you can remove the salivary gland stones, watch the videos on TH-cam about salivary gland stones and you'll see how to do it if you still have them
My best friend was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago. She struggles every day with it. It's painful for her daily, more so when she is on her period. She wants to be a mother so bad and this disease makes it very hard for her to have kids. She is on medication but is always struggling. She doesn't really have the excess hair but she has the weight and irregular periods.
i'm so grateful someone actually speck about PCOS. Is not easy to live with such I pain and with the bullying from people like 'you have a moustache hahaha (if i take it off in one day is grow longer) go gym you are too fat ( if i lose weight i need to be so cheerful because is going back ), when I was 13 i had my first blood circle after... nothing. Going to the doctor she put my in a pills without explanation why??i ' m going to be alright?? I was left confused . When i first figured out what actually is it i was crying and telling myself i m going to look like a monster i was afraid. Now i 'm 21 and try to heal PCOS, naturally. Also I learn beauty in not in how we look and we don't need to care about what people say . Is so common in women's PCOS but also so different in everyone doctors must looking forward. Just because is so ''normal'' that not means we need to ignore it just because they found some medicine who ''works'' .
Throw names in a bucket. Choose a doctor and then live with a condition for years. Why? If a condition does not clear up in the first two months go and get a second opinion, or keep going. Don't suffer in silence. See different specialists as they specialize in different fields. Someone will have an answer.
The rapid eye blinking though maybe they should ask what's going on with that but you get used to it after been here long enough but seriously get that checked out
That PCOS story was interesting. I have always thought it is so common it gets flagged the moment you go to gynecologist. It was so obvious I said that is PCOS the moment she described painful menstrual cycle
The second one sounds so much like what’s happening to me I was a normal size child but when I was 9 almost 10 I gained loads of weight but I don’t even eat the wrong stuff or eat loads. I’m now 13 and going through the same stuff 😬
I have PCOS. I missed 2 periods when I was 13. My mother brought me to the doctors straight away. They did blood tests, BMI, etc. Spoke to mother about my weight growing up. I has gained weight bit by bit as years went on as a child and even back then my mother asked them about my weight gain but they just said its normal, which in most cases it is. I was sent for an ultrasound, they found cysts and i was then diagnosed with PCOS. Its not a disease by any means. 2/5 women have it. The only issue is medication and research. Little to no research is done on PCOS, doctors no little to nothing about it. They just give you birth contol/the pill and thats it. You take that for the rest of your life.
You have a single child who is in pain and you really thought she is crying for attention??!!! She didn't have siblings to envy and cry for attention oh come on!
I’ve pcos, we’ve been trying for 2 years, went on clomid and letrezole along size metformin and folic acid didn’t get pregnant on them, then in October we just naturally conceived because I spontaneously ovulated on my own ❤
The second story : gaining weight suddenly, abnormality menstrual cycle, growing hair in some places. The first thing in my mind is obviously PCOS. Cheaper drugs? Metformin - just like a diabetic type II patient. My close friend also has this and now she has 3 children.
@@star3674 maybe, could be. But also idk, I'm 20 and I've known about pcos for my entire conscious life for how common and distinct it is, but yeah it could depend depends on the year it happened and maybe the location or the doctor's specialization.
My grandmother has alfa 1 antrypsin defiency , and both my mother and I inherited one of the gene, the chance i would get the gene was 50% and it puts me at great risk of having same problem as the guy here, i can either develop it or not which is terrifying while at same time gotton a rare form of rhumatism called Bechterews syndrome when i was 18 years of age. But so great that doctor did the bloodtest of pure curiousity.
How tf could they say it was LIKELY that Emily was doing that for attention. Like, yeah, sure, a four-year-old girl not eating despite of extreme hunger, not opening her mouth for longer periods of times, screaming so hard that she lost her voice...sounds like something a little child could think up just to get attention xDD Like, they lost their f**king minds or what??
What about her children, do they have her "wonderful" disease? Terribly, she didn't even think about the possibility that she could reward them with her "miracle." I'm so disgusted that I don't even want to listen to the story to the end.
I also suffer from PCOS I have the EXACT same symptoms I don’t get my periods anymore at all and I’m 29 years old now I wasn’t diagnosed with PCOS till the age of 28 which is horrible as I have always had mine since childhood I had to go to a private Dr just to force my actual Dr to do something about it…. It’s horrible
I am also suffering from Pcos my doctor also gave me birth control pills but I think my body get used to of it. I am also facing problem of breakouts and hairs ☹️I know how painful it is. I don't know but no doctor helped me in it I am having a cycle of 40 days and after that I bleed for 1 or half month☹️
I have PCOS. I stared a strict Keto diet and started working out. Since then my symptoms have improved dramatically. There has been research lately that has linked PCOS to insulin resistance. Insulin disrupts the hormone signals to ovulate. We Simply can't process sugar. Cut it out and eat low carb foods. I've lost 16kg and I'm feeling much better and my cycles are starting to improve.
It's not like PCOS makes you unable to get pregnant - it's just harder because of irregular ovulation. So 'a miracle' is a bit of an overstatement here, she was obviously lucky, but it's not like she did the impossible.
Polycystic ovaries is the most common female condition, i did not knew it may cause so many ups and downs... I know tones of girls with that condition but noone ever complained that it is so serious issue.. 🙄why was that a mystery back then ????🤨🤨🤨
The doctor who said that little girl was just looking for attention needs retraining at least. Maybe they should find a branch of medicine with no patients they can harm. Medical gaslighting is a hideous failure of patient care that has often led to awful outcomes for patients. A friend of mine years ago kept going to the doctor and he told her she was imagining her symptoms. By the time her cancer was diagnosed it was far too late. It happens all the time and it’s just never okay. If you, or anyone close to you, has a medical professional say or imply that physical symptoms are in your head, or you’re just stressed, or however they may phrase it, first say to them “I think you’re gaslighting me” then get a second opinion. And a third if you need to.
I have pcos and I can tell it's not scary. It can be difficult but why would you get scared of beard, brown women have beard even without any health issues.
@@strawberrytam98 and that would be because our bodies are very complex and not everything is as simple as diagnosing one single diagnosis and looking no further.
@@Marie.b Yeah I can totally agree with that but I also feel that with some diagnoses there is just not suitable medications to cure all of the symptoms or if there are medications there may be even more side effects, which can obviously include weight gain.
![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
Wow, I never thought that I would see PCOS on MD. The weight, the acne, the hair, the on and off menstrual cycles SCREAMED pcos!
Exactly.. Why couldn't any doctor point it out at least as a possibility questions me.

The lung transplant story is very touching. Glad that everyone made it through
That last story, when he got the lungs from a 14 year old girl... that hit me hard somehow. It was just so beautiful in a sad way.
It actually brought tears to my eyes
My mum suffers with TN and seeing her in pain actually hurts my heart. My mum is the strongest person I know

Poly-cystic ovaries, I guessed that from the get-go. Why is this so hard to diagnose??
ali xena because this was a long time ago
When I was 15 years old I got diagnosed Polycystic ovaries syndrome now I am 18 years old
me too, but it seems too many doctors are happy to dismiss "women's problems"
I freaking called the PCOS diagnosis. I have PCOS and it's nowhere as severe as hers but I'm 18 and was diagnosed at 15. Anyway I'm so happy she was finally diagnosed and finally got to have kids

Me too. I knew right away
And how are you all doing today with PCOS?
every time these people get diagnosed its because the doctor looked it up in a textbook. the other doctors who failed are too lazy to do it
Doctors dont rly look for the rare diseases. They are trained to look at what’s more common. Typically diagnosis comes cuz of their clinical experience seeing a disease. With the sheer amount of diseases to remember from textbook, experience is essential to making a diagnosis.

I have had this complication and took B - Vitamins and thumb it was away never to return. As it is a nerve disease B - vitamins will help.
What about her children, do they have her "wonderful" disease? Terribly, she didn't even think about the possibility that she could reward them with her "miracle." I'm so disgusted that I don't even want to listen to the story to the end.

Michel Huggins is actually Miranda Bailey
I also suffer from PCOS I have the EXACT same symptoms I don’t get my periods anymore at all and I’m 29 years old now I wasn’t diagnosed with PCOS till the age of 28 which is horrible as I have always had mine since childhood I had to go to a private Dr just to force my actual Dr to do something about it…. It’s horrible
In the old pictures of Ashley she didn't really look chubby/fat , she looked normal
I am also suffering from Pcos my doctor also gave me birth control pills but I think my body get used to of it. I am also facing problem of breakouts and hairs ☹️I know how painful it is. I don't know but no doctor helped me in it I am having a cycle of 40 days and after that I bleed for 1 or half month☹️
I have PCOS. I stared a strict Keto diet and started working out. Since then my symptoms have improved dramatically. There has been research lately that has linked PCOS to insulin resistance. Insulin disrupts the hormone signals to ovulate. We Simply can't process sugar. Cut it out and eat low carb foods. I've lost 16kg and I'm feeling much better and my cycles are starting to improve.
@@Grimsister1 thank you sure İ'll do the same
I have been diagnosed with PCOS in 2015
28:43 Idk if it's just me, but for some reasons i'm a 100% certain i have seen her in a different video. 🤔
Yes I think she is in the one about Adrenal gland that produces too much testosterone.
@@larissagarcia3951 Yeah, that could be, i have watched so many of them that i loose track of it 😂
She definitely was
I'm having the same exact symptoms but they checked for pcos and it's not it. I still don't know what it is :/
today is tuesday..where is the new video? i thought every monday you will upload new episode
Eunice Agustin Manners - how rude
@@teresatv9209 ughhhh, some people just can't help themselves, patience is a virtue 🙂
@@teresatv9209 how was she being rude? She wasn't been rude she was asking a question.
Why oh why do these videos always have people who happen to suffer from blinking when the camera gets close to their faces.
It's not like PCOS makes you unable to get pregnant - it's just harder because of irregular ovulation. So 'a miracle' is a bit of an overstatement here, she was obviously lucky, but it's not like she did the impossible.
Is... Is that Annabelle doll at 15:11 or am I just seeing things?
Saw that too
I don't like how they said "balooned up"
Polycystic ovaries is the most common female condition, i did not knew it may cause so many ups and downs... I know tones of girls with that condition but noone ever complained that it is so serious issue.. 🙄why was that a mystery back then ????🤨🤨🤨
Are there no ultrasound machines in the USA? How did they miss PCOS for THAT long...
Once again diagnosed in 1 minute by me, and I’m not a doctor! PCOD is not rare!
Why didn't allow translation
37:00 hits like a train
The doctor who said that little girl was just looking for attention needs retraining at least. Maybe they should find a branch of medicine with no patients they can harm.
Medical gaslighting is a hideous failure of patient care that has often led to awful outcomes for patients.
A friend of mine years ago kept going to the doctor and he told her she was imagining her symptoms. By the time her cancer was diagnosed it was far too late.
It happens all the time and it’s just never okay.
If you, or anyone close to you, has a medical professional say or imply that physical symptoms are in your head, or you’re just stressed, or however they may phrase it, first say to them “I think you’re gaslighting me” then get a second opinion. And a third if you need to.
THE FECKING EYES GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I have pcos and I can tell it's not scary. It can be difficult but why would you get scared of beard, brown women have beard even without any health issues.
TN is durable!!! There is an Operation for ist! Shocking that this Child is gilben that String meds
I'm sorry but if you miss even one of your periods you need to keep note of it. Any more than two and you need to see a doctor.
It HAS to be PCOS. Got to be.
Has anibody notices the annabelle doll in the secons case ?
My questions are how did she get her hands on Annabelle and why did she get her?
Is she okay #third
..
20 years not uvz ovaries
Imo if you are treated with medications all the symptoms should go away. Weigh problem didn't!
I'm sure shes aware shes still over weight.
Medication can't always get rid of every single symptom
@@telsclark i'm sure she is too. what's your point?
@@strawberrytam98 and that would be because our bodies are very complex and not everything is as simple as diagnosing one single diagnosis and looking no further.
@@Marie.b Yeah I can totally agree with that but I also feel that with some diagnoses there is just not suitable medications to cure all of the symptoms or if there are medications there may be even more side effects, which can obviously include weight gain.
Why do Americans go GP shopping, are you not happy unless there is something wrong, is it the drama you crave ?

It could be the trigeminal myalgia
It’s trigeminal neuralgia because it’s the three nerves in the face so the parents should know
