Sorry to hear about your troubles. I helped my acne before I was diagnosed. I use facial care products that I got from my aesthetician called GlyMedPlus. It is a whole system and I consider it a miracle. It has made a world of difference for my skin. I very rarely have a blemish and I was BBAADD before. I'm sure it's available elsewhere, but I can give several places to get it in Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Dear Chris,

First of all, I think it si great that you are trying to find help to

understand how your wife is feeling, that is really nice. From what you have

written it is difficult to tell if your wife may have PCOS or not. Many

different things cause irregular periods and acne. It is aldo possible she

has depression from what you describe. PCOS is unable to be diagnosed by

ultrasound alone, blood tests for hormone levels are also required. I feel

that once a person has a diagnosis of what is wrong with them, things can

start getting better, no matter what the condition is. PCOS isn't curable,

but it is treatable. I hope the scan is able to igve you some idea of whats

going on. try to have aMerry Xmas!

Love Emma

My wife more or less certainly has PCOS (one period in 9 months), and is

due to have scans.

In the meantime her skin complexion has worsened badly; she has red

blotches, spots, etc, and is caught in a vicious circle of not wanting

to worsen the problem with make-up, but not wanting to be seen by

anyone, as she feels hideously ugly (compunded by obsessive cleanliness

and mood-swings associated i believe with PCOS).

She's constantly upset/tearful/depressed, and what i really would like

to know from anyone's experiences:

-How soon do things return to 'normal' after PCOS is diagnosed

-How soon do test results return once a scan has been taken

-How soon can my wife expect her skin problems to return to normal

-Is there any recommended 'quick fixes' for treating her skin problems.

Scan is soon, 28/12/00, but with Xmas coming up soon, she is distraught,

and it's breaking my heart to see her this way. I feel totally

helpless, and would be grateful for *any* advice.

Thanks,
