You CAN manage your PCOS without overwhelm

I’m Paulina, and I really want to thank you for joining me in my little corner of the web. 

I’m a wife and full-time volunteer for Bible education, it is the most important thing in our lives and is what brings us the greatest joy. 

When it comes to my health, I realized as a young teenager that alternative medicine agreed with my body much more than traditional medicine. And as a young married woman, I learned it even more so. I had always had issues with my cycle, but just after a couple of months of being married, I started feeling worse and found out after about 3 years that I had PCOS and hypothyroidism. An acupuncturist explained to me that synthetic birth control was causing all those problems, plus was the reason for the many emotional issues I was having. I remember one day, my in-laws were over, and as I was in the kitchen, I had to stop what I was doing and catch myself with the countertop because of a cyst bursting and the pain. Many times I was close to fainting. So I decided it was best to stop taking them. I definitely started feeling better, although my cycle was still a bit off.

Throughout the years, I felt like I was not being heard, as I had so many issues when going to the doctor. So many OBGYN’S wanted me to go back to the newest pill because “it would be better this time.” There was one time a doctor told me to take the pill back to back just so I wouldn't get my period, but I ended up bleeding for 6 months in a row.

In the past, bronchitis was also something I fought against all the time. Doctors would put me on antibiotics, and they would make me so sick. There were times when I became extremely dehydrated because the medicines would make me vomit. I felt like my voice was not being heard once again. I HAD to find a way to deal with my anxiety, bronchitis, my hormones, my joint pains, and restless legs, and so I did. I found ways and protocols that no doctor had recommended that actually worked. I wasn't waking up at night anxious anymore, I haven’t gotten bronchitis in 4 years from the time I was writing this, my cycle is more regular, and another pleasant surprise was that I no longer have the wrist pain I’d had since my teenage years that was preventing me from playing my flute for any more than 5 mins.

I now have the tools I need to help me balance out my emotions, self-confidence, and hormones as I live with PCOS. And I finally feel like my voice means something.
