HI SUE
Hey, I thought that i was alone!! I also have pcos and i am not
overweight, and therefore the doctors have very little sympathy. Having
been fobbed off with BCPs for years, I have realised that the Doctors (I
am in the UK) aren't interested. I have been low carbing and i feel
better and I seem to have created a bit of regularity to my menstrual
cycles (touch wood)
Mail me for a chat, as i have to go now
on:
alexandra_hunter@hotmail.com
bye for now
Alex
