Hey Lenora!
It IS nice to know you're not the only one. Not that I'd wish this on
anyone else but it's nice to know someone understands.
Doesn't it seem like there are a lot of different types of PCOS? It
seems like I've seen a chart somewhere in which they sub-classify the
different "types" of PCOS but for the life of me I can't remember where
I saw that. Anyhoo, email me at nif@pioneernet.net and we'll chat some
more!
Take care,
Jenn
