When you can, if you haven't done so already, watch Dr. Ken Berry on YouTube:

and read his book: https://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Doctor-Told-Me/dp/0999090518
​
Sometimes, just a rational voice from someone else might be more persuasive than your actual results. People don't believe their own lyin' eyes, I guess. But Dr. Berry was quite helpful, and not only that, having watched him lose weight himself on this diet is a stamp of authenticity.
PCOS Here too. The best results for me (after years of experimentation) came from having a simple and structured routine

I also saw crazy amazing results from following advice in this book: 8 Steps to Reverse Your PCOS: A Proven Program to Reset Your Hormones, Repair Your Metabolism, and Restore Your Fertility https://www.amazon.com/dp/1626343012/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_j44NzbK536JD1
Good Luck!
Cannabis was never banned. Marijuana was, in a nice "pull the wool over their eyes" move. That was later overturned due to that ban being unconstitutional. Later it was added to a controlled substances list, in the highest schedule and kept away from people in effectively the same way.

Have you seen an ophthalmologist? I remember I had to see one regarding my migraines and they gave me some sort of special tests. Mostly to rule out anything abnormal that might be causing the migraines. It's possible that you are suffering eye strain and that is triggering the headaches so getting an eye exam would rule that in or out too. Mention the migraines and light sensitivity to the doctor and see what he/she has to say.
Also, supposedly you can get glasses tinted especially to reduce migraine. It's an individual thing as to what tint works better. You could get tinted contacts too. http://migraine.com/blog/what-color-of-eyewear-is-the-best-for-light-sensitivity/. Wearing tinted prescription glasses would look more professional than sunglasses too.
There are all sorts of drugs that function as preventatives. The drug I found most effective was LSD. (Back when you could get pharmaceutical LSD.) Not that I advocate going out and buying street drugs but cannabinoids and hallucinogenics do work as prophylactics. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/781651. In my case my migraines disappeared for decades before resurfacing.
This is an excellent book on headaches and the various drugs that can be used to prevent or abort headaches. It also covers some self help therapies you can try.
Do try lifestyle changes such as avoiding triggers, do exercise (unless that's a trigger for you). I do exercises to stretch and strengthen my neck, meditation and relaxation help, especially when a migraine hits I take an abortive and put myself in a trance and it's gone in an hour.
I keep my house dimly lit, which drives the boyfriend nuts, but I do better in the dark. I find I do better with task lighting rather than flooding the room with light. You can get gel sheets to cover your task light with. You might find it easier to work under red or amber light than white or blue. Fluorescents tend to be blue, it may be their blueness that is affecting you more than their frequency.
In the mean time, you don’t have to go to a doctor to change the way you’re feeling. Try eating a balanced diet for PCOS. Cut out diary and sugar and refined carbohydrates. Eat 3 meals and two snacks everyday, with veggies being the main portion of your meal. Drink lots of water! One ounce for every pound of body weight.

Of course! Sorry I didn't see this earlier. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1626343012/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_HQYDAb1ZVHNEW
It's a pretty organized read.
Hi!
Yes, it's almost impossible to find information on high DHEA-s and lean PCOS.
When I started researching lean PCOS, this book: https://www.amazon.com/Steps-Reverse-Your-PCOS-Metabolism/dp/1626343012 helped me so much. There is a chapter on high adrenal androgens as well but the whole book is really informative.
Best wishes :)
Hey - I found this book by Fiona McCulloch really great. Explains the science clearly, runs through all the traditional and non-traditional treatments really thoroughly, and gives suggestions for meal plans etc.
Already posted this but I would recommend reading this book:https://www.amazon.com/Steps-Reverse-Your-PCOS-Metabolism/dp/1626343012.
It goes through all the different cases of PCOS (because it really does vary case by case and there is no standad). I am fit your criteria (5'5, 120 Ibs). This book is helping me understand my predicament a little more. I actually have not tried seeing a specialist yet. I basically just decided to cut out dairy, soy, gluten...anything that can trigger inflammation in my body and I am going from there.
