So far so good with Diane 35From: Jennifer (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 26 Feb 2001 11:28:38 -0600 (CST)
Hi ladies, Just wanted to give you an update. Many of you know me already, I'm 24 and I have been diagnosed with pcos for about 10 years now. Doctors didn't do much about it until about 1 1/2 years ago when I did the research and brought it to a new obgyn. She's fabulous, and she helped me. I started glucophage. About 8 months later I started spironolactone, for the hirsutism. I was taking Demulen bcps. I have been on a low carb diet (Atkins) for a little over a year, and have lost 30lbs. but still I had a lot of mood swings, etc. So after finding out about Diane 35, I really wanted to try it. My primary care physician recommended it - but as an American I can't get it. Luckily my boyfriend's mother lives in Portugal and she sent me a 3 month supply. I've been taking it about 3 weeks, and so far it has really seemed to make a difference - I am feeling much better emotionally! And my weight loss is a bit quicker. But the emotional stability is unbelievable - I used to fly off the handle so much and in just three weeks I'm feeling so much calmer and more tolerant. It's great. Anyway, just wanted to update you ladies, I'll post about this again after a couple of months on the meds. Take care.
-- Jennifer
