PCOS Awareness Month Manicure

Hello! Today I'm joining Nory and a bunch of other bloggers in bringing attention to PCOS. PCOS is short for Policystic Ovarian Syndrome and September is awareness month for PCOS. My fellow Twinsie and friend Nory has been dealing with PCOS and wanted to get the word out.

Symptoms of PCOS include:

significant weight gain

facial hair increase

blood sugar problems

insulin intolerance

significant hair loss

depression and anxiety

infertility

cysts

excessive blood loss

irregular or extreme menstrual cycles

Nory has put together a list of helpful links for those interested in learning more about PCOS and for those looking for support:

http://www.pcoschallenge.com/ - Support System to help women with PCOS

http://www.facebook.com/PCOSFoundation - PCOS Foundation

http://www.facebook.com/pcosfight - PCOS Awareness

http://www.facebook.com/pcosdiva - PCOS Diva

 

For my PCOS mani I chose Essie Turquoise and Caicos. I wanted to pick something special for this mani, and since Essie T&C is one of my favorite polishes I felt it needed to be a part of this post. It may be a tad too turquoise, and not enough teal.  :(
