I have not yet been diagnosed with PCOS My appointment to see my Doctor
is 3-22-02. I have almost all the symptoms of PCOS I am only 22 yrs
old. I was diagnosed with IBS in 98 and I suffer from nausea and all
kinds of other problems. I am new to all this and just actually read a
magazine article in which my mom gave to me to read and she was very
persistent on me making a doctor appt. before I ever read the article.
I have never had any of those tests you referred to however I want more
info. on what tests I should have my Dr. run on me this Friday. Please
HELLPP!
