Healthcare Accessibility

I've suffered with PCOS for almost 20 years and I find it super ridiculous that not much is known and done about it in Healthcare, despite of how common it is. Living with this is a consistent and expensive struggle. I feel more can definitely be done.

I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2015, I didnt know about what it was as much as I do now. I cant afford to pay for pcos supplements because alot of them are expensive « inositol, ovasitol, pcosense, etc ». We need the support and subsidize cause alot of us cant pay for treatments and supplements. PCOS should be treated like any other disease/disorder. We need more support and healthcare needs to be more knowledgable in PCOS, I can speak for some of us ladies that we get brushed off, unheard, told to lose weight/eat less/diet, and come back when you want to try having a baby. Living with PCOS is honestly a consistent struggle of moods, emotions, expensive, etc; more NEEDS to be done!

Even if nothing else can be done, allowing for certain expenses (like hair removal) to be a valid medical expense for tax purposes, would be a significant help and acknowledgement.

As the only similar medication currently covered, contains an allergen which nearly killed me during my short, 6 week experience, I hold out great hope for something which does NOT contain PEG, and will help me in the battle to improve my health.
