Dear Cindyloo- I suffer with hormones all the time and infact, it also caused me to become type 2 diabetic. I have Polycystic Ovaries. My ovaries become over grown with cysts and then they pop and release to different kinds of chemicals into my body:

Testosterone and sugar. As both raise it alters my body chemistry. I deveoped a very oily face and lots of adult acne around my chin area. I began to skip periods for 3-4 months. My metabolism slowed down and I put on 50-75 lbs. My HDL (good chol) went way down. I also find it VERY hard to get pregnant. It also gave my diabetes.

Once the doctors started to adjust my hormones to help my get pregnant (WHICH HAS NEVER WORKED.), I found out just how important hormones play in our lives.

First, had to get me to have a period...they put me on a pill that had a name that was 25 letters long. I was calm to instant b!t$h within seconds. I yelled at people and had fits, which I do not do! I was also placed on glucophage (insulin pill) as well as a blood sugar pill too. Then given clomid to help with infertily. Well, I started to forget things and I cried and felt very sorry for myself.

So, yes, I have hormonal imbalances in the past and I still go through it everyday. Sometimes I get real sick of taking my pills, but I know that I would be worse off without them. I know what I blood sugar can do and I work with it everyday.
