Re: If you have PCOS.. does that mean that you are definitely IR?From: anonymous@obgyn.netSat, 30 Sep 2000 19:40:13 EDT
It is not the case with everyone diagnosed with PCOS that they are IR. PCOS is a syndrome and has a variety of symptoms that are unique to individuals. Some women have classis symptoms, like heavy or absent menstruations, infertility, IR, excess facial/body hair, hair loss, excess weight, high cholesterol ,etc. Again, these symptoms vary from person to person. I've also heard of persons who have had the GTT and who's tests have been normal, but yet, respond well to IR medications, so go figure! It's a tangled web of the unknown at times. Hopefully a genius will come along and invent a vaccine! :) Good luck! -Isabel In a message dated 9/30/00 7:36:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time, anonymous@medispecialty.com writes: << I have been diagnosed with PCOS.

I am anxious for your replies!! Thanks. Janice >>
