I am saddened that you felt that my reply was simply a debate. I really
feel that I was giving accurate and current information relating to PCOS
and associated diseases.
I think that all of us are busy, but it is up to us to take the best
care of ourselves that we can. There have been no other possible causes
of PCOS outside of the genetic problem that causes insulin resistance.
While it is still considered the "most likely" cause of PCOS, even if it
is not the definitive cause it is still certainly a factor. That is a
point in which we cannot deny.
I always try to give adequate information each time I answer a question
because I cannot know what posts each person has read, or what research
they have read. If you feel that you got too much information, perhaps
it has helped someone else who is in a situation similar to one you
describe.
Just so you are forwarned, in order to get a BSN, you are required to
take a course in Research. I pray that you will give it a shot because
it could be very rewarding for you.
