>Hello Elizabeth:
I am curious about the diet that you are using. Please e-mail me back.
I understand what you have been through as I have been through much of
the same with my PCOS. I am a busy person, right now, I am in my first
year of medical school, which is challenging enough. But I have to
fight this illness and be strong, because I know I have alot of people
to help in the future. I appreciate your sharing.
