Re: PCOS- effect of BTL or perimenopause From: Carla (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 29 Nov 2000 18:30:08 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Carla: "Re: Tampon Question" Previous message: Raven: "Dysplasia" In reply to: Nancy: "Re: PCOS- effect of BTL or perimenopause" Wow! What good questions. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS at age 30. I told my mother about it, and she talked to her Dr. He told her she probably had undiagnosed PCOS all her life, and started her on Glucophage (she is 57). So I would say it's definitely possible based on her experience. At Sun, 12 Nov 2000, Nancy wrote: >#1- Would AVANDIA be as good as Glucophage or do they do different >things? My blood sugar is low at times,especially after I eat. They do different things. Glucophage helps your body use insulin, but won't lower your blood sugar per se. Avandia lowers blood sugar, so could make you hypoglycemic. >#3- If I have high levels of estrogens or androgens, could this explain >why my thyroid tests always appear normal even though I have 90% of the >symptoms of hypothyroidism (plus a nodule)? I read that high levels of >estrogen could affect thyroid binding globulin. I think so. I have also read that. My endo exclaims at every visit how dry my skin is and she can't believe my thyroid tests are normal. I don't know what can be done about it, if anything. I will say I stopped taking BCPs about a month ago and my skin seems a little better already. BTW, You are probably aware but there are 3 PCOS boards on this server also. Good luck, Carla Next message: Carla: "Re: Tampon Question" Previous message: Raven: "Dysplasia" In reply to: Nancy: "Re: PCOS- effect of BTL or perimenopause"
