HURRAH!!!
That's wonderful news Ian! I'm so pleased that we were able to help a
bit in you getting a handle on this and being able to help your fiancee.
I hope for you both that this is the start of her becoming healthier and
healthier, and less moody! It sounds like it's something that's now
going to bring you guys together rather than drive you apart. That's so
wonderful. Thanks for letting us know.
There are quite a few women on this board who are from the UK. You may
be able to find what you need through them. Also, check out the PCOS
Association's UK info at http://www.pcosupport.org/chapters/uk.php - I'm
sure at least some of that will come in handy at some point.
Good Luck!
