Dear Becky,
Welcome, and I am so sorry that you have this condition. I am sorry but
i do not know a lot about PCOS. I have endometriosis. There are a lot of
women here with that conditon, so just keep checking back I know someone can
get a little more involved and tell you how much it means to have you here
in this chat.
Hope to hear you are happier the next time I read YOUR letters.
Debbie Henze
