Pill/DietFrom: penny (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 31 Jul 2001 11:05:20 -0500 (CDT)
After several months of contending with several drs and after paying over £200 to see private consultants I have had a diagnosis of PCO . After doing my own research I had to pressure the dr for a blood test for sex hormones, thyroid and blood sugar. All came back as within normal parametres, but the dr would not submit a blood test for insulin as it's "too expensive" (this is the UK's great National Health Service). If blood sugar is a normal reading, does this mean that insulin will also be normal? I have put on a stone in weight, have a constant thirst, lower back ache, feel lethargic, pee none stop, and have sugar cravings. Second question, I've been put on Marvelon which I'm not happy about because of the DVT association, and also my boobs are killing me - is there another pill which is recommended for PCO which is not on the DVT hit list - I was on Cilest a few years ago which seemed to work although at that time I don't know if I had PCO. Thanks in advance.
