hi tera, oh you do make me laugh (praise God...) anyway, i didnt realize the boils were one of the symptoms either until reading these posts, but i have had them about as long as all my other lovely symptoms. sometimes i think im just the grossest person and i dont know what is going on. since reading these forums though i feel much better, knowing it is all part of this syndrome. (like the horrible odours, irritable bowls and boils) I see my dr. in a week and hope to get several of these addressed, as well as the metformin. oh, by the way, you mentioned your boil in your inner thigh, that is about the only place i have gotten them over the years, and i dont get them constantly, just regularly)liz.
