Hi,

My problem is a little different. I am 32, obese, have had PCOS and insulin reistence since puberty, but was diagnosed little more than 2 years ago.

I was put on a heavy dose of Metformin and Diane 35. After more than a year of taking it, I saw no no difference in my condition other than the fact that my periods became regular. I have not got good medical advise, so i just quit all medication. Now, I am off everything, since the last 7 months, my periods are still normal but I am almost bald on the top of my head. And it seems to be getting worse.

Please tell me what to do as I do not fancy wearing a wig. Thanks.
