Re: I am amazed...From: paula (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 28 Feb 2002 15:46:43 -0600 (CST)
Denise, here are some links about metformin and PCOS that may help you. also, your doctor was correct in saying that some of the side effects will go away in time (well, they do for most people, but if they don't there are alternatives such as advandia and actos). with a insulin level that high, why not continue treatment with this doctor until you can find a better one. i know that a uninformative doctor is not a good one, but your insulin level is REALLY high, and at this point it would be my opinion that some treatment would be better than none (again, just an opinion) anyway, hope this helps you =) love, paula http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hormonelevels.html (hormone levels) http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/nov16/kidson/kidson.html (somewhat technical, but a good article about new approaches in treatment) http://www.inciid.org/faq/pcos1.html (an informative FAQ about PCOS) http://www.soulcysters.com/research_articles.html (over 100 articles about PCOS research) http://www.ivf.com/links/pcoslinks.html (links) http://www.pcos.net/whatis.html (good general info page) http://commodore.perry.pps.pgh.pa.us/~odonnell/ir1.html (insulin resistance information) http://www.infertilityphysician.com/androgen/pcos.html (long but excellant article, if i remember it is really easy to understand) http://www.acponline.org/journals/annals/01jan97/polycyst.htm (about heart disease and PCOS) http://directory.netscape.com/Top/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Endocrine_Disorders/Gonads/Polycystic_Ovarian_Syndrome (many links about PCOS) also be sure to check out the PCOSA home page for their beginners kit, it contains alot of good information http://www.amarillomed.com/howto.htm (this site is a fairly decent one, it helps to explain what your test results mean) http://www.bugsbest.com/insresis.htm (this site has a ton of information about IR and syndrome X) http://www.chromiuminfo.org/index2.html (i haven't read much of this page, but it seems to be based in reality, if you are interested in Chromium you can read up on it here) http://www.efit.com/servlet/article/9395.html (i haven't read this one very well either, but it looks interesting. it is about carbs and syndrome X) http://www.healthyideas.com/healing/living/more/synx.html (this is a site about Syndrome X and Insulin resistance, i haven't read all of it, but it seems ok) http://www.heartcenteronline.com/myheartdr/common/articles.cfm?ARTID=309 (this site is also about syndrome X) http://www.nutritionfocus.com/nutrition_library/Syndrome_X.html (syndrome X) http://www.rehabmall.com/healthyliving/slagle/vol15.htm (syndrome X) http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/metformin.html (this site is about Metformin and Pregnancy studies)
