Thanks Clara! I've also heard alot about B&W...I'm in CT, but feel that the folks
around here aren't doing much to help. Unfortunately, the earliest appt they had
available was June 30... :-( But, I'm hoping it'll be worth the wait! Until
then, I'll continue to "low-carb it" and wait patiently! I'll let you know how it
goes!
Also, if you know of specific sites that talk about B&W's & PCOS, I'd be very
interested...thanks!
