Re: Paula in the spotlight

To prove the lack of information available to the public, as well as
lack of awareness, I got confimed for PCOS diagnosis
yesterday, and went home empty-handed. My doctor didn't even have a
simple pamphlet for me! This needs to change. This syndrome affects too
many women to continue to be ignored. What can I do to help?? Perhaps
the makers of Glucophage can publish Paula's info in a pamplet. It's
worth looking into..
