hey, Bonnie!
I get what you're saying :-) I don't even know that I have PCOS--the
doctor made the diagnosis on my testosterone level and didn't *think*
I'm IR. I just read somewhere that some appearances of the nails can
result from endocrine disorders, so I thought maybe someone would know
what could possibly cause these things....
Thanks,
Flori
