Thanks to everybody for the advice and kind words. I certainly don't intend to go anywhere, but it's easy to get frustrated sometimes and a bit of encouragement helps.
From what I've read online, I agree that the consensus seems to be that weight loss is the best cure, but it also sounds like it's very difficult for women with PCOS to lose weight. If someone is able to help control symptoms with medication or supplement treatments, is that likely to help weight loss? If it does and some weight is lost, does that further help to reduce symptoms?
The student health center seems to be reasonably affordable, but she's had very bad experiences there in the past with doctors not taking things very seriously. It's a comment I hear from a lot of people at the university. Does anyone know how long it takes for metformin to work, if it's going to?
Thanks again, everybody. |
