Bethan Youd has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS. It's a hormonal condition so common that one in ten women of reproductive age have it. Many of them, like Bethan, will be told upon diagnosis that it's primarily a reproductive issue that can cause fertility problems. But Bethan's message is that although it can mean difficulties getting pregnant, it should also be seen and treated as an overall medical condition – one that can cause significant weight gain that is not easily remedied by intensive exercise and diet, as well as blood sugar spikes, irregular periods, inflammation and hair loss. In this episode Bethan explains what major holistic based changes in lifestyle and how she eats has helped her overcome her symptoms.  Bethan Youd on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healing_pcos_mama/?hl=en Wellbeing Magazine: Why is PCOS Misunderstood The New York Times : Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: What It Is, How to Manage It-----------------------StuffThatWorks is a crowdsource-based research platform empowering people with medical conditions to transform their experiences into an organized knowledge database aimed at figuring out which treatments work best and for whom.Learn more about StuffThatWorks.We're using crowdsourcing to gather data about chronic conditions and treatment effectiveness.  Contribute to the PCOS Community Find your condition community.  Music for The Patient Is In courtesy of Blue Dot Sessions.

When Heather Foisy was diagnosed with an autoimmune illness called Sjogren's Syndrome, she felt her world was falling apart. The disease had already been making her nauseous at every meal, and had caused such bad abdominal pain that even walking down the hallway could bring her to tears. But now, with the diagnosis, depression and loneliness set in. At the same time, however,  so did a measure of denial. Heather, intent on distracting herself, continued to go out frequently with her hard-partying friends. That is, of course, until her body crashed and she realized she had to retool her life, all the way down to the way she socialized and made friends.  In this episode Heather describes what she learned in forging a supportive network of friends and family in the wake of chronic illness.

Phantom limb pain is the very real, sometimes excruciating pain and discomfort that occurs after a limb has been amputated. As many as 80 percent of amputees experience it. For some, it is accompanied by a related issue: residual limb pain, which refers to pain in the part of a limb that remains after amputation.  Listen in to this conversation between two experts: Kiera Roche, a life-long athlete whose right leg was amputated below her knee after a car accident and Keren Fisher, a psychologist who researches this type of pain and helps people adjust to limb difference.

More from Denise Fixsen"I have dedicated my life to HS and to helping others who suffer. I have been an HS advocate for 29 years now and for 28 of those years an HS patient advocate for others. I have been to doctors appointments, surgeries, and ER visits with them and helped them navigate insurance issues, get proper treatments etc. I have met, helped and worked with hundreds of HS sufferers. Not only has it been an honor working with so many fabulous warriors, but this entire journey has taught me SO much about this illness above and beyond research. ​I have worked with and continue to work with researchers, scientists, HS specialists, and other advocates. I have attended several HS medical conferences and seminars. I have enjoyed putting together several successful face-to-face support groups around the United States and have and still do spend countless hours researching up-to-date published medical research studies regarding hidradenitis suppurativa and  comorbidities. HS facts and factual awareness is VERY important to me. Due to other illnesses, part of my HS advocate journey came to a halt, at least the physical aspect of it. I continue to be an HS advocate and I do what I can to help other sufferers; it's now just done via email, online, video, phone, and is one of the main reasons why I created the HS support group Hidradenitis Suppurativa Unique Fun Facts and the organization, HS Connect.​I have suffered with HS for 42 years now; it started when I was 8 years old. I've been dealing with severe stage 3 since age 25. For about 21 years of my life, 87% of my body has been touched by hidradenitis. I have been through everything imaginable with this, including all the mistakes that go along with this illness. I have also had several invasive wide excision surgeries, which I am still undergoing to date. ​I am an open book when it comes to my HS and I understand your pain as well as the mental and emotional toll this can take on you. Please feel free to ask me any questions about anything HS related or my personal HS case."Related Articles and Videos The New York Times: Patient Advocates Help Navigate Healthcare HBO: Patient Advocates Can Help Save You Money and Your Life HS Connect Awareness Video: "We are HS Warriors"! -----------------------StuffThatWorks is a crowdsource-based research platform empowering people with medical conditions to transform their experiences into an organized knowledge database aimed at figuring out which treatments work best and for whom.Learn more about StuffThatWorks.We're using crowdsourcing to gather data about chronic conditions and treatment effectiveness.  Contribute to the HS Community on StuffThatWorks Music for The Patient Is In courtesy of Blue Dot Sessions.

Lynda Pickett and Laura Murphy live on opposite sides of the globe and have never met in person, but they consider each other the best of friends. They both suffer from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, or PMDD, a condition that at times has upended both of their lives. Their connection has been a lifeline, getting one another through their darkest moments with PMDD, including, at one point, Lynda's suicidal thoughts. PMDD  is a hormone-based mood disorder, which can arise during the premenstrual phase of a woman's monthly cycle. It can prompt extreme rage, anxiety, mood swings, and at its worst - suicide. About 30% of women with PMDD try to take their own lives. This is the story of Lynda and Laura's PMDD journey and how their friendship and the peer support and treatment information they exchange, has made all the difference.For information:See Vicious Cycle, the patient-led PMDD group co-founded by Laura Murphy.

Shortly before the coronavirus pandemic swept the United States, Dr. Jo Shapiro was training fellow physicians at an Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio.  After returning home to Boston, Jo,  a head and neck surgeon and a professor at Harvard Medical School, started to feel congested. But it was no ordinary congestion. She describes it as the weirdest upper respiratory symptoms she'd ever experienced. As a physician, she found herself fascinated by—and even studying—how her body was experiencing the disease. As a patient,  she grew sicker and sicker over the three weeks she was ill. And then there was the day she thought she might have to check into the hospital. She knew this could signal a downturn from which she might never recover. In this week's episode of The Patient is In, Dr. Shapiro shares what she learned about COVID-19 now that she's on the other side of the disease. More about Dr. Jo Shapiro Professional Website Twitter: JoShapiro3 More on the Topic Hear Dr. Jo Shapiro speak about Reducing Burnout and Increasing Well-Being among Clinicians: Watch Video Read about COVID-19's Emotional Toll on doctors: Read Article -----------------------StuffThatWorks is a crowdsource-based research platform empowering people with medical conditions to transform their experiences into an organized knowledge database aimed at figuring out which treatments work best and for whom.Learn more about StuffThatWorks.We're using crowdsourcing to gather data and learn how COVID-19 affects those of us with preexisting conditions.
