I am 23 years old and have been bouncing back and forth from doctors since i was about 16.  I have never been diagnosed with PCOS but been told, "its likely."  Now, i have been from birth control to creams for my face and nothing seems to work.  I have a pituitary tumor, no periods, DRASTIC manly hair growth, over weight, skin tags, dark skin patches, and i have lost so much of my hair and no one notices it but myself.  I am going bonkers over this.  I feel like a complete freak of nature.  I now lost my insurance, because I am 23 years old and i was under my fathers health care plan, but he got laid off from his job (like the rest of America) and now no one has medical insurance.  I have no idea if there is anyone who can help or something I can do to somewhat treat myself before i lose my mind over this.  I know without medical insurance its almost impossible to be seen by a doctor, but I need some sort of assistance.  I am a college student, I live with my mother, I have no dependents (and after reading about PCOS it looks like I will never have any) I just need some sort of direction.  Someone please get back to me.  My email is prdiva4eva@aol.com. 
Thank You,
Jessica M

Hi, my name is Tina

Your situation is identical to mine. I wouldn't change anything you said, except that I am 27 and in college. Have you found any help. If you have please let me know.
