Reticent to blog about PCOS? What the…?
Sitting at lunch yesterday, reading a chapter on blogging in “The New Rules of Marketing and PR,” I realized I have been rather reticent to blog about my experiences with polycystic ovarian syndrome. It hit me like a brick wall — the big “WHY?” It makes no sense, as I publish a magazine all about PCOS, have spoke to newspapers, conferences, and the like about my experiences with the syndrome, and yet it’s taken me until NOW to finally start a blog. Perhaps it’s laziness. But as I’m snarfing down my chicken fried steak, I realized there were so many things I can speak to regarding PCOS that I can’t necessary discuss in the forums I’ve mentioned. DUH! These moments of clarity are always a bit astounding to me.
Since this is the, ahem, inaugural post, I can’t help but make the usual marketing pitch about the blog’s posts, which I’m sure will keep you raptly captivated…(got the hipwaders out yet)? Seriously, I hope and invite you to return to this blog on a regular basis. PLEASE offer your RELEVANT commentary. I plan to speak to everything from my personal experiences with PCOS to how both the medical community as well as various markets seem to be missing the mark on working with and serving the needs of the PCOS patient (as well as their loved ones, friends, colleagues, etc.).

thank you for creating this site, I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, um, a Hormonal Insulin disorder (wish that PCOS name would change already). Too much testosterone forcing my ovaries to shut down. Found out two years ago, and has been a relief to know that I can actually control this thing with food. However, I cannot tell you how much I miss sugar and everything that turns into sugar… Anyway, again, thank you for the information, keep posting, you’ll find the rest of…

Thank you for this site. It is so important for all of us to spread the word about PCOS, the more the better. I enjoy your posts and know that this site will help many who are diagnosed, or who have just been diagnosed with this condition.
The sites is very welcoming and down to earth, I think that will attract people because they want to know they’re not alone in this struggle.
I think its our job, those of us with PCOS, to educate and support each other as much as possible — goodness knows the medical community does not do enough of that!
Happy Holidays !
