My family has endocrine issues (mom's side) and obvious IR related probs (dad's side) so I don't know where I fall, really.
I'm wondering about this a great deal. It just seems far too odd that I have a few friends who have both autoimmune disorders and pcos. And the other issues with autoimmune disorders is that it's difficult to diagnose. But they seem to run in the women in my family, and to that end, all had pcos and endometriosis as well.
