Becky, it sounds as though no one has properly started treating your
PCOS yet, what a nightmare of symptoms and pain to go through! A lot of
posts have come up on this subject recently so I will just point you to
http://www.pcosupport.org and say that they have some great information and
advice on talking to a doctor. I really hope your new endo knows what
is going on! Take care.
