She certainly looks better when she puts on a few pounds.
You keep saying there is a vlog of them telling them that, but what she actually says is that she has a pattern of cysts that is often seen with PCOS. They did an ultrasound, but we never heard or saw the results of any of the other tests commonly used to confirm. PCOS cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound alone. Regardless, even if she has PCOS, she does not have infertility because of it.
People don't believe the thyroid condition because it has never been mentioned again since, and even when she had the crisis about her low weight she still wasn't going to see an Endocrinologist.
Thank you. Not to mention.... she shows absolutely no symptoms or signs that a typical woman with PCOS struggles mercilessly with, other than her irregular periods (which could be contributed to low BF%) and her "acne." Which, by the way, I'm
really curious - have any of you ladies out there with PCOS (or any other hormone-related imbalance that causes acne)
cured your painful, cystic acne by using some high-end, non-prescription skin care routine??? That one still throws me for a freakin loop.
Also - and this is an important thing to note - when Ellie cried about being so thin that she didn't even have enough energy to walk up the stairs... what did she do? She went and got a personal trainer and started working out... Hello?? Does that make
any sense to anyone?? Sure, she saw a nutritionalist once and started putting a little more effort into her meals (...which was short lived), but STILL. Use your common sense. If you were clinically diagnosed with PCOS
and a thyroid condition, and began to feel so weak that you couldn't walk up the stairs, would your first instinct be to go and start working out? Hell. No. You would call your DOCTOR(s) and tell them that you are not doing well at all and probably need to begin/change medication.
Actions speak louder than words - that's all I'm sayin'.
