HELP!!!!From: Tara (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 7 Sep 2001 01:04:30 -0500 (CDT)
Hi Everybody! I was diagnosed with PCOS a couple years ago. It makes me miserable. I feel like a fat cow. I hate myself. I feel like everyone can see my "beard". All of my friends and relatives say they can't see it, but I can. I don't know if they say it to be nice or what. I shave, and I am so embarrassed by this. My acne used to be a problem, but I started taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen. It really worked, and it didn't make me ill. I have a period every month because of them. I highly recomend them. I also take Glucophage(Metformin) 500mg x 3 a day. It makes me so sick! I was looking over other people's concerns about the medication, but no one mentions the gut-wrenching diahrea. I can't go grocery shopping without having to run to the bathroom. Does anyone else have this problem? Or maybe someone has a solution. I feel like I should take Immodium every day. I am also on blood pressure medication, so I don't want to over-medicate myself. Can anyone help me, or at least sympathize?
-- Tara
