If someone could direct me to a Sydrome X or IR board that allows males
and females I will go there. I am no longer interested in this board.
And pcos,is not as we all know a good name, it is just a name for women
with IR . All I wanted was someone to help me deal with this illness
for myself and my son,and since my son could pass it on to any future
children,girls or boys, thought there would be a interest here but I was
wrong. But since this is only for women as I have been told, I will
leave. And yes the feeling I have gotten is you are not interested in
any male children getting this illness , so my thought was you don't
care, if not I am sorry. I brought this subject here because I cannot
find any board that deals with IR for males, and that is why I started
here, a big mistake.
Thank you for all the help you have given me but I must now put all my
energy into helping myself and my son deal with IR. Goodby!
