I have most of the symptoms, tiredness, sore throat when i wake up, sour tastes in my mouth.

my mum thinks im lying and wont take me and apparently it can kill you if its left undiagnosed, she thinks my snoring has nothing to do with it.

So, my sister has recently complained about having irregular periods which she said started years ago but are becoming weirder and weirder. Our Dad died four years ago and both of our periods stopped (probably stress) mine is regular again, but hers is not. She’s 17 and weighs 223 pounds. (She doesn’t look like she should weigh nearly that much.) Anyways, she’s got a doctors appointment with our family doctor (a man) on January 7th, but wants to see an OBGYN. The catch is that she doesn’t want an internal exam, she refuses it. The point I’m getting at is this: Last night we researched possible diseases or infections she might have to cause this in her and we came up with polycystic ovary syndrome. It said that that also causes hirsutism (excess hair growth in women.) When we read this, my sister showed me her back and legs. She has thicker hair at the bottom of her back and on her thighs than she should. Her inner thighs are also a darker colour than normal. That’s another symptom of PCOS. So, we managed to come up with a probable diagnosis for her but now she has to see a doctor to find out for sure. She absolutely refuses to get an internal ANYTHING and she really doesn’t want to talk to our family doctor because he’s not a woman.

The websites we looked at said that low-dose birth control could easily solve this problem, so we thought maybe she could just request that? Or do you think she should express her concerns about PCOS to our doctor right away? Please help!

I’m literally going insane with his snoring…it’s like sleeping next to a big broken truck reving up…in fact it’s probably more annoying…and i’ve been with him more than 3 years…i’m a light sleeper too…it seems the only time I could sleep through the night is if I’ve consumed alcohol or sleeping pills or I’ve been so sleep deprived therefore so exhausted on the 3rd or fourth day that i would completely knock out….and then the cycle would start again…i try not to take sleeping pills because it makes me feel woozy the next day…

Nothing has helped…he quit smoking for a year now….he is a drinker..but he doesnt drink everyday…i don’t know if that’s the case….he is a social drinker so i dont think he’ll quit completely…but if he was to go a month without drinking…it woudl sound just as loudly as if he did…sleeping on his side doesn’t help either….he is a tad bit overweight…but it’s just a little…i do make him nwork out..and it’s helped like a tiny teeny bit….
