The doctor said that the two conditions can be confused with one another because they both cause high testosterone levels but while PCOS causes higher testosterone via ovaries, the 2nd conditions causes higher testosterone via adrenal glands.
Anyway, it was a great episode! Sorry if it's not the same episode as the one you are referencing. |
My Mom saw this one tonight. Taped it for me to watch. She thinks I might have that instead of PCOS. Since I am not getting any better with my PCOS treatments. I actually feel like the living dead 98% of my life. -sighs- I am glad other people want this show though. I been addicted lately and so has my Mom. It really opens up a whole new outlook on a lot of stuff.
