You poor lamb, I know what you are saying. I was diagnosed 11 years ago, and did not have any treatment until last year, when we started tring for a baby. Tha chlomid made me so fat and sick. However i have some really good days. I have forund complimentry therapy really helpfull and they make me feel good about myself, you knoe being in controll over m,y own destiny and all that. Accupunture helped with regulating my cycle and massage or facials help my skin, and make me feel great afterwards. I hope to start Met soon, are you feeling any better at all. With the facial hair my husband and family and friend say that they are oblivious to it unless I am haveing a bad day and i go up to them in hysterics and make them look really hard, I acxtually think that they might just say that they can see them to humour me. I am so sorry that you felt so bad when you wrote this mail. I ahd a day like that this weekend so i really do empathise. Keep fighting the good fight and we all hope that the outcome for us all will be feeling better about ourselves and where relevant a small bundle of love and much yearned for joy. Much love, take care Mel
