Hi again,
I have all the symptoms of PCOS without the cystic ovaries - bizarre
condition huh? I am still struggling with IR, excessive hair growth,
weight problems, acne, etc. Also you need to be aware, that taking
glucophage just to lose weight is a dangerous thing. Would you like to
privately email me, as this really belongs on the pcos forum? Please
send me a message or let me know if I can send you one.
luck and love, SusieQ
