I’m Amber and I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2020 just before the pandemic begun. My journey hasn’t been an easy one, and learning how to manage PCOS with the ever-changing requirements of life has been tough. I have struggled with heavy painful periods as well as, hair loss, low mood, anxiety, cystic acne, hirsutism, and weight gain.
I have tried various approaches such as the holistic method to manage my PCOS but has been challenging. I am passionate about advocating for PCOS as I know many women deal with this condition and I can relate to what they go through and want to help in any way that I can, through sharing my journey and tips that have worked for me to better manage the condition.
I think having a support network of like-minded women around you can help, just to have that friendly voice on the phone or meet up can really make an impact to know that you are not alone.
