Hi Jill thank-you for your input, i really appreciate it. I live in Manitoba. So we can get Diane 35, so i will ask for that soon. And i think i will see if i can be switched to Avandia. i REALLY would like to try the met again, but i can't deal with the side affects right now. It's just kind of scary, taking so many drugs sometimes. Did you have hormonal shifts from starting and stopping on Diane 35? that is probably one of the main reasons i didn't want to go that route. I have a little hair growth problem, on the chin, but nothing bad. My main concern is my hair thinning. It has been a problem for so many years. It has been heart breaking at times. I'm 36 , so i don't know how long i could stay on it. Oh maybe that new drug they are doing the study will help us all. sorry for going on and on..
