  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I am in fact already losing weight for my own happiness so I'm curious about the validity of this suggestion as it would mean I'd have another reason to lose weight.

However when I read up on this in the PCOS subreddit and watched some vlogs on YouTube I see a lot of women who were already thin and still have symptoms. In fact some of them had to spend years trying to get doctors to take their symptoms seriously because of their normal weight. I do feel doctors have a limited understanding of this condition so I'm looking for some anecdotal evidence from here.

Hey yeah so I was always a normal weight except for a bit when i was a teenager. So I take Saw Palmetto and I don't eat processed food and really have to stay away from sugar. My PCOS was made worse by trauma later in my 20's but before I didn't have to do much. My Dr. also didn't take mine as seriously because I am not overweight. But I don't think there is much they can do besides prescribe some stuff that impacts hormones. I had a way way better experience with Naturopaths doctors, they were all far more informed about PCOS than my GP anyway. PCOS is so hard sometimes, sending hugs!
