Encore: Free Association, My Poly Cystic Ovaries

Free Association: My Poly Cystic Ovaries

Tick, tock...

Release, damnit!
Free my poor ova!
Give me some relief!
F*ck you, follicles!

Tick...

Isn't it sad
that something that looks as yummy as a caramel-nut cluster
or a lumpy, bumpy, charcoal broiled marshmallow
could cause me so much grief?!

Tock...

Self-loathing belly fat...
Moodswings
Hirsuitism
And all that...
As if being a woman was not difficult enough.

Tick...

Tired of food restrictions.
Tired of IR medications.
Tired of being tired.
Tired of my body betraying me every step of the way.

Tock...

I used to wear a size 9-10.
Honest.
I have pictures to prove it.

Tick tock.

Tick.

Tock.

Tick...

What is a euphemistic "biological clock" for "normal women"
boils down to nothing more than a ticking emotional "time bomb" for me.

Tock...

Here is what my specialist who treats me for PCOS said about my journal entry:

"Quite an honest and unique way of saying whats eating patients up with this syndrome. I like its integrity."
