Re: Dr. doesn't know about pcos/insulin connection From: anonymous@obgyn.net Fri, 30 Aug 2002 08:43:23 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous: "Re: IN DEPTH Bladder Infection Facts (hope they help you)" Previous message: Victoria: "Article" I have been very interested to read all the mail posted on this site and I would be grateful for any advice on pcos. My duaghter is 17 and still has a very unpredictable menstral cycle. She also has acne on her face and back facial hair and is about 50 lbs overweight. I also have the further difficulty that she is mentally handicapped. Please someone advise me how I should go around finding out if she has pcos as what I have read about this would point me in this direction. mAt Wed, 15 Mar 2000, E'Lena wrote: > >At Wed, 15 Mar 2000, Belle wrote: >> >>At Wed, 15 Mar 2000, Susan wrote: >> Are there any good solid >>>acticles/reliable medical sources that I could show her(she thinks >>>internet information can be from unrelaible sources and 'dangerous' if >>>not from relaible sources)?
