Does ANYTHING help with hair loss?

Hi all,

I started looking into PCOS as a possible cause of hair loss, and the more I read, the more I'm convinced I have it (I have an appointment Thursday with my Ob/GYN to discuss). It started with sudden acne at 23, followed by a quick 50-lb weight gain (eventually gained 70 pounds) in a matter of months, and then progressed to weird periods and hair loss (I'm now 26). For me, the hair loss is the most distressing issue, as I miraculously lost 60 pounds over the last year (it's a miracle because nothing except low-carbing and about 12-15 hours of aerobics and weight-training a week seemed to help:-) Anyway, I wonder, has ANYBODY had success halting or reversing their hair loss with PCOS? If so, what meds did the trick?

Also, I still have about 35 pounds to go to my goal weight but can't seem to lose weight anymore no matter how hard I work out. It's like I'm stuck. Anyone have suggestions on getting over this hump?

Thanks in advance for your input. You are all a great resource! Maria
