I have suffered from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome since my early teens although it wasn't diagnosed until my twenties. I found it very hard to get any advice or support during this period, many people didn't understand how this condition affects you. Everyone, doctors, nurses even friends kept telling me I should be grateful I wasn't having periods but they didn't have to live with the symptoms.

Now the medical profession knows much more than they did 5 or even 10 years ago and diagnosis is much quicker. My aim with this particular website is to raise awareness and educate as well as connect fellow sufferers or cysters as we are known.
