Personally and professionally I have helped support persons who have needed these services. It is vital that clinics like this continue to be accessible to the Vancouver ( and Metro Van) area. The health care in our province is sorely lacking, and it is especially crucial in women 's health. Please help support these wonderful people.
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.
