Thanks very much. It has been really informative and helpful to read these forums. Just finding that I am not alone is enough
I am trying to register at another pratice near my home. I hope the GPs there will be more supportive and I will finally get diagnosed (or not, whichever). I just want to get peace of mind and know what's wrong.
Like Maribel said it is not normal to have a coarser beard than my boyfriend and someone needs to have a serious look at my hormones/glucose/insuline.
Thanks again
