I wish you lived in California Tyrany. I have found a great RE! He is
at Stanford Med center and is doing a research study on the affects of
Avandia on PCOS insulin resistance and ovulation. I think you would
really like him. He EXPLAINS things and listens..I showed him all the
websites I printed out about PCOS and he was familiar with all of them!!
The Stanford REI clinic is even a member PCOSA!Good luck hon..I hope you
find a wonderful doctor soon you deserve the best!
