Hi Tj,
I know the feeling! when I was finally diagnosed...I just thought to
myself "well guess i'm not crazy after all!" I was begining to think
that my doctor thought I was a hypochondraic!(SP?).What a relief to find
out that there was a name for what I have been going through the past 25
years...PCOS!
Good luck to you!Dona (Dx 2 yrs ago)
