I’m living proof…Jesus Heals: God healed me from PCOS

I’ve never shared my story publicly, just with a few of my close family members because I used to feel like it was so personal and not many people talked about it: PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). If you know about PCOS, doctors always say that it is incurable, but symptoms can be managed. I am about to share my story of how Jesus healed me from PCOS. I hope my story can help somebody to learn that there is power in the name of Jesus. 

Since I was a teenager and started having my periods at 9 years old, they were never normal; I wish they were. I remember every time I was about to get my period a sense of fear invaded me, not knowing how painful they were going to be, how long they were going to last, or if I was prepared for whenever it took me by surprise.

I spent many years not knowing what I had, even though my mom took me to different gynecologists, nobody wanted to give it a name, they only said I had a “small” cyst. But my periods were very abnormal and painful, sometimes they could last from 55 days to the longest, which was 78 days, it was horrible.

I was always feeling very tired, and weak, and I started to have dizziness. I remember one time I almost fell down the stairs in my house.  My mom was very scared and took me to her personal oncology gynecologist, by then I was only 16 years old. He did many lab studies which my previous doctors didn’t, and also some blood work. The labs came back, and he told my mom: “Your daughter has PCOS and the blood loss is making her anemic”. He prescribed me Iron supplements and even some birth control pills, and that’s it. 

"I knew if someone could do something about it was, Jesus. "

Birth control pills were not helping, they controlled some symptoms but brought other issues with them. After learning about them, I cut them out of my life for good.

After years of battling with it on my own and having other gynecologists deny I had PCOS, I was very tired of feeling this way. Feeling not heard or understood, and living in agony and uncomfortable. It started to affect my day-to-day life.  As an adult, I remember I started to miss days from work. Whenever my periods started the pain was so unbearable that I could not stand, I felt so weak and all I wanted was to be in bed all day. 

I thought to myself, there’s got to be some way to fix this. Some way that I can be healed for good. The doctors that acknowledged I had PCOS always told me the same thing: “PCOS can’t be healed, only controlled”. Blah, blah, blah. 

I knew if someone could do something about it was, Jesus. And you know what, I started praying over my health and my PCOS non-stop. I remember crying and declaring that He was going to heal me and that I was going to live a better life. That was my prayer non-stop for months and in 2015 Jesus healed me, Praise Jesus! 

I am happy to say that I don’t know how he did it, but I am forever healed from PCOS. It’s been 9 years since. And now I can finally say that from then on all my periods have been normal and only last between 4–7 days, and that to me is a miracle. From having constant pain and periods lasting for over 60 days to now having normal periods, wow!!! 

The day I was finally healed from my PCOS, I started jumping and screaming for joy, and I even cried. Jesus heard my prayers! He did it! The same way He did it for me, He can do it for you! Whenever I prayed over my health situation, I always remembered the story in Luke 8:43 of the women with the loss of blood for over 12 years. How her faith healed her. 

"And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her." - Luke 8:43

She didn’t talk to Jesus and asked to be healed. There were so many people surrounding him, and she maybe thought asking God to heal her in front of a multitude of people was a bit embarrassing. She probably felt ashamed and judged by the people who knew about her situation, but she did something that changed the course of her life, and history was made that day. She believed that if only, if only she touched a corner of his robe, she would be healed. And that’s exactly what happened because she believed!
