You've done it again - I started my period yesterday after missing one
for three months, and the pain has been unbearable, I logged on to read
the messageboard and to hear that you have both seen so many women
walking around with the signs of PCOS makes me feel better - I don't
wish this illness on anyone but it's good to know you are not alone.
Perhaps you should wear a T-Shirt saying YOU HAVE GOT PCOS ! and give
them a quick flash when you see someone... LOL.... regards Michelle
