Belle, I also had 2 previous drillings done. At this point in time i do not wish to concieve (I have 2 adopted children. I have come off the pill because my blood pressure was going up up and away. I have these really wicked back pains for app 5-7 days, aince my ovaries are so enlarged, I was just wondering if the two may be connected. Pcos is really starting to affect my health I have high cholestrol,high blood pressure, depression,mood swings, and if I just look at food I gain weight. I am only 5'2 and weigh 156 pounds, and now that they have pulled rezulin off the market I am not sure if my endo will treat me with anything else. (I also am on a low carb diet,which for me additional weight gain. All I know is that I do not want everything taken out. The only thing my dotors do is treat each new thing that comes up.
