I’ve been living with PCOS for as long as I can remember, but I’ve not let it slow me down or stop me. I might have Diabetes because of it, I might be infertile because of it and I might have a lot of other issues thanks to it, but it is just one more thing to deal with in life and as such it can be handled and dealt with and lived with.
