Re: Metformin success storiesFrom: dana (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 25 Sep 2000 17:40:27 -0500 (CDT)
I have been looking for more information linking symptoms of anxiety and general "sick feelings" like stomach upset and aches and headaches and sleeplessness to pcos and these messages were the first to mention this. I also read a dialogue from a medical conference that linked fast pulse rate to this syndrome. I have thought that hormone imbalance of any kind effects mood and physical responses yet the physician I spoke with said that those symptoms are symptoms that should be addressed by our family doctor. Where can I find more information about the link between stress/anxiety including stress from poor diet and Pcos. My gut tells me that severely anxious girls with poor diets are under such stress that hormone imbalances result. Please think about this and respond. I am concerned.
