I'm just wondering if any of you have been diagnosed with Primary Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, and if you would be willing to discuss your experiences with me. I was diagnosed at sixteen and for all my searching (and twelve years later!) I haven't found anyone else who has it, too.

(Primary Hypothalamic amenorrhea can be defined as the complete lack of menstruation due to a dysfunction of hypothalamic signals to the pituitary gland resulting in a failure of ovulation. Typically, young women who are affected by the condition have no obvious structural abnormalities of the hypothalamus or the rest of the brain, pituitary gland, or ovaries. Basically if you've never had a period "on your own".)
