However, I was misdiagnosed for the first 5-7 years due to my doctor's lack of knowledge. I've experienced almost every symptom listed. There is nothing more embarrassing than to be a vibrant, beautiful young woman who has to shave her face daily! It took a toll on my self-esteem. Not to mention the constant battle with weight. I couldn't lose more than 5 pounds in a year even on the Glucophage. I'm sharing these unflattering facts about myself to try to help other women who may be facing similar situations. I've found some solutions that have worked tremendously for me and may help you. First, I started laser hair removal. You cannot go for one or two treatments and expect results. The company that I selected offered up to 9 treatments every 2 1/2 months which averages to a 2 year period. They also have a life time guarantee. I chose to do my entire body and I am well pleased with the results. I have completed 5 sessions and have 4 more to go. However, I haven't shaved once within the past 3 months and the hair that has returned is very fine and I have 80% less growth than before. I am being treated at Ideal Image in Orlando. Next I needed to get my weight under control. I found a great website where I began to follow the online food menus and workout to the great exercise videos. I've had a 17 lb weight loss and many inches. Believe me, 17 pounds may not sound much to you but it is extraordinary for me since I couldn't even lose 5 pounds before. My weight loss has improved my cholesterol and Hypertension. You can read my story and see my current transformation if you visit www.fitnpaid.com. I hope this information has been helpful to you.
