pcos and cushings, hairloss, enlarged liver/pancreas From: tera (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 30 Nov 2001 22:52:20 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Previous message: Tanya: "Period Pain" Hi What is the difference between PCOS and Cushings? I've been diagnosed with PCOS and have all of the classic symptoms listed by many others on the boards. I also have an enlarged liver and pancreas and my liver function is off. A reproductive endo I was seeing for a while said that my liver and pancreas is definately related to PCOS. Has anyone else heard of this? She said many patients may have enlarged organs but may not know because of the excess weight many PCOS suffers carry. Also, I did try Metformin for about a month and was so weak and fatigued and overcome with nausea I could barely work and I stopped taking it. I did some research and discovered that many diabetic medications should not be taken if you have problems with your liver function. Does anyone know of a diabetic med that is easy on the liver? Also experiencing severe hairloss. I used to have THICK, STRAIGHT hair. It has been getting thinner slowly for the last year and is now CURLY and slightly lighter in color especially at the hairline and finer in texture. In the last month it has been falling out by the handfulls. The hairline is the worst. I can now see through my hair in the front. I started taking saw palmetto because of the anti androgenic properties I read about on the web and will be heading to my OBGYN in a few days for my annual exam. I was in there a few weeks ago for a cyst and showed her my thinning hair which she pretty much blew off saying that the breakage around my face was new growth. I should know - I'm a cosmotologist! I will try to get her to put me on another diabetic med - per anyone's advice which may be easier on my liver and some aldactone per the advice of the many postings on the message board. Sorry so long. I'd appreciate any advice! Previous message: Tanya: "Period Pain"
