Newbie with Lots of questions!!!From: Angie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 27 Aug 2002 09:24:02 -0500 (CDT)
Hi, I'm new the this board and to the diagnosis of PCOS. Never knew what was wrong with me all of these years. Just enough problems to make me think I'm crazy, but thought it wasn't worth mentioning to a doctor. I have been losing my hair for the past 4 years (since my husband joined the Army---thought that was the problem). Just recently my hair and face started getting extremely oily. Thought the oil was the same, but thinning hair maybe made it more oily since there was less hair to soak up. I went to a doc---just happened to me an endocrinologist that understands this stuff. (army doc too!!!) I asked him to test my hormones, thyroid, and whatever else may be causing the hairloss. He said that my testosterone was 110? I assume that is pretty high. I haven't had any strange hair growth, but have had infertility problems a few years back. I do have 2 children of now. I have a regular period all except a little heavy, little painful, little long...but it comes every month. My chest/neck have been breaking out for months and I never knew why. My doc put me on met 500mg twice a day. Questions: Is the dosage of Met I'm taking sufficient? I think I'm tolerating it fairly well. When will the Met help clear up my neck/chest from acne. It has gotten worse since I've started the MET. What about my crankyness. It was SO bad the other day. Again worse than usual after taking met. With Low Carb diets is it best to just cut them out as much as possible or just decrease them. Thanks, Angie
