>>>>>>> I DON'T SEE ANY BROWNISH SPOTS ... I DO HAVE ONE SKIN TAG UNDER MY ARM. I WILL ASK MY DOCTOR TO CHECK MY INSULIN ON THURSDAY. DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING SPECIAL BEFORE THE TEST? I FOUND SOMETHING ABOUT EATING 200 CARBS OR MORE A DAY TO GET AN ACCURATE TEST ... IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT TEST, NOT SURE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE REGULAR (ON TIME) PERIODS WITH THIS? MY PERIODS HAVE GOTTEN HEAVIER OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AND VERY PAINFUL!! ARE THE NIGHT SWEATS A SYMPTOM?
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR REPLY AND ANY MORE ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFUL. CAN I GET A DOCTOR'S OPINION ON THIS? ONE MORE QUESTION... I AM GOING TO HAVE MY UTERUS REMOVED SOMETIME SOON DUE TO PAIN AND MY PERIODS PUTTING ME INTO BED FOR THREE DAYS, WOULD REMOVING MY OVARIES STOP THE SYMPTOMS OF PCOS? I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND AM SURE THAT I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE. THANKS AGAIN, SONIA LEWIS
