I don't know how to start this. I had my first period at 10 years old and since then I've never really had a period schedule. For about the first 1 year or so it was once and month for 5-6 days. At about 12 or 13, I just stopped having periods. It would come occasionally every 3-6 months. It should have been something that was a warning sign, but I always put it on the back burner. At 13, I started to get cystic bumps near my groin and my thigh. (If it makes any difference I haven't had any sexual intercourse) My doctor always told me to exercise, that both my missed periods and cystic bumps were because I overweight. I haven't seen my doctor in about 2 years now, both because I don't have insurance and I wasn't a big fan of "lose weight and get back to me." In the last 2 years I've probably had my period about 4 times and now have painful bumps under my arms (which i'm guessing is Hidradenitis Suppurativa). I'm 19 now and I really just want to be healthy. I just don't know what to do. I'm in the process now of getting insurance, but I still haven't gotten over my fear of doctors. I know no one is here is a doctor, but I'm just looking for some help.
thanks in advance
