The name won't make a bit of fucking difference unless we scour medical misogyny out of the entire medical profession.
I went to GPs twice.
In my 20s, presenting a record of my wildly irregular periods, I was told I was 'obsessed'.
In my 30s, concerned that a beard wasn't typical, I was told, "You're fat so it's PCOS. Shave if it bothers you."
This article is when I found out about insulin resistance and cardiovascular implications.

I've had a busy four days looking after myself whilst husband attended the International Guild of Knot Tyers' Annual Symposium.
As usual, I did too much whilst unsupervised but I can sit and look at the slightly less weed-filled garden from a slightly cleaner house whilst I recover.
Was upending empty/weedy pots from along the fence line into a big tub and got startled. Lots of little insect grubs and then the soil boiled – with ants!
So we've got a nest at the bottom of the garden!

I am begging the world to stop making abominations out of other cultures' food and drink and then making them trend.
[They are putting milk and sugar in hojicha now.]
I hope this dies quickly, which it might because it isn't a pretty colour like matcha or purple yam.

Weird dreams last night.
Planted half a dozen xenomorph embryos on a mound and covered each one with a pork chop so it would have a little snack when it woke up.
Still, feeling better this morning, even if confused!
