So, i don't know if anyone else has been watching it, but tonight, on UKTV Style, there was a program entitled 'Embarrassing Illnesses'.

There was a couple on there, and the woman had PCOS, Endometriosis and an Underactive Thyroid.

Am i the only one who feels that none of these illnesses is embarrassing?
I have PCOS and i don't find it embarrassing.

They said that they found it embarrassing to tell people that that's why they didn't have children...

I don't have a problem with it, i come right out with it.

I suppose i just wanted to know whether i was the only one annoyed by this concept - the idea that an infertility problem is 'embarrassing', and as it is a women's health issue, and i know that some people in this community also suffer (i hate that word!!) with it too, i wanted to canvas opinion.

So:
PCOS - Embarrassing? Discuss
Endometriosis - Embarrassing? Discuss
Underactive Thyroid (or indeed, any thyroid problem) - Embarrassing? Discuss

I really would like to know others' views and know whether i am overrreacting by being annoyed.

Many people find virtually anything to do with their bodies embarrassing. We're lucky I suppose...
