lindsay said:Good to note about the blood sugar when taking it!! I will keep that in mind :) What are PCOS symptoms?? I only have one ovary now, but I keep wondering if maybe I fall into that category..... then again, I'm supposedly post-menopausal, so maybe that's my issue - don't know.
Close to a year and a half ago I was at my doctor visit explaining for the zillionth time all of my symptoms which were: acne, facial hair weight gain, elevated androgens and uncontrolled blood sugar. She looked at my labs and my beard and asked me if I had PCOS. I didn't know what that was at the time and was quite irritated that SHE was asking me. I was turning into Chaz Bono, only with lots of zits.
Like Jennifer, I was able to get rid of of all of my PCOS symptoms with massive doses of Progest-E. More thyroid meds and more carbs in my diet. Getting gut flora in check has also helped tremendously.
