Joan,Thanks for the info I appreciate it more than I can ever tell you. Tabitha is my daughter and she does see a endrocrinologist.A neuro diagnosed her though if you can believe it. She had been having unexplainable fainting at school,work and then it happened when she was driving.We feel lucky to have her and our youngest daughter at all now.She was in the car when tabitha fainted and they wrecked. God was definitely looking out for my girls.Our family daughter sent her to a neuro because of the fainting and it just so happened before the wreck I had taken her to the endo only because she had started getting alot of hair on her back,sideburn area and the under her chin and she was really feeling bad about herself. He did blood test to find out about the hair problem and found out that it was her ovaries.We havent seen him again yet,he faxed the lab results to the neuro and he told us and left us to guess the rest till her appt.with the endo on thursday.LOL Gosh sorry I just started typing and got carried away. Thanks for listening. sharron
