Hi Deborah,
Thank you for responding.... it's nice to know that I'm not alone and
that someone understands! If you don't mind me asking, what medications
have you tried other then BCP's? You're about to go see a third
endocrinologist or gyn? How were you diagnosed, and did they do anything
for it? My dr. casually said... oh it's pcos, you can't do anything
for it, just BCP's.... which doesn't make me feel very confident in her
or about my problems. Any suggestions of what path I should take?
Thanx again!
Jess

I too have been on numerous birth control pills that have caused nothing but problems. And, I clench my teeth. Of course I also pull out my hair (trichotillomania), probably strange for a cyster, but I guess I have a lot of stress in my life! :)

This <<stupid>> PCOS reacts in us differently, so not everything will work for everyone... but keep reading. You might see something that interests you that you want to try, prescription or not.
