Samantha-I am not sure exactly where you are at but I found a great doctor in Lansing. I went to him thinking I had a thyroid problem, and he diagnosed me with PCOS at our first visit after a very thorough exam and history which I had been sent in the mail. If this is not too far for you to drive, his name is Dr. Michael Carella, he is located in the Sparrow Professional Building-so downtown Lansing. He prescribed Glucophage my first visit. I have had trouble upping my doses due to the gastro side effects and he even changed my Rx to Glucophage XR. Hope this helps. Carrie At Thu, 15 Mar 2001, Holly wrote: >
