PCOS, hot flashes and moreFrom: rena (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 15 Sep 2003 09:04:22 -0500 (CDT)
I'm a 35 yo female who has been dealing with the symptoms of PCOS since i was nineteen. The hair, the weight, the dark patches of skin, all of it. i was diagnosed three years ago (is that surprising) after fertility treatments and THREE gestational diabetes pregnancies...since the birth of my last daughter (2000) I have been experiencing hot flashes and night sweats. This might be crazy but my feet (that have always been icicles) feel like they are burning up. Sometimes I have to run them under cold water they are so hot. I am miserable...I just started taking metformin again and really need a consult with an endo, but have to wait for insurance to start. My PCOS feels likes it's gone out of control in the last six months...I had had laser done with great results and all of a sudden the hair is growing back, this time I am getting chest hair, and dark coarse hair on my upper arms. My stomach is a blanket of dark hair. I am getting more and more depressed and can't even talk with my dh about it. I would just love some advice/encouragement as I wait for the insurance to kick in so I can get and endo appointment... I think I am at least in perimenopause if not the beginings of menopause. I haven't had a period in nearly a year and although I have "forced" three times I only spotted twice and had a very light period the third time leading me to believe there is no lining to shed. Well...I'll end here...any advice nutritional supplements to recomend, does progestrone cream help? LMK thanks for listening
