Default Hello Soulcysters

Hello my name is Dawn and I live in Seattle. I found this site back on 5/12/08 and found so much stuff but then did not come back on.. Well I am back. I would like to say that I have PCOS and was diagnosised with it in 2008. Which really upsets me because I am now 34 yrs old. I have two children and got pregnant with both of them with out having a Menstrual.. so for all of you women out there.. just relax , live life and love.. I did not use any meds at that time because I did not know what I had. My daughters are 10 and 8 yrs old. I have all of the fun stuff that comes along with PCOS. Facial hair (which is the hardest for me ) skin tags, overweight , thining of hair , skinny legs and flater breast.. any ways. I just want to say Hello from Seattle . Pls find a Endocrine Dr. .. this is the only true Dr...that knows there business and see your other Dr... for other things.. but a Endo Dr... will get going in the right path..
I use
Metformin 500mg 1 in the morning
1 in the Afternoon
2 @ night.. a grand total of 2000

Spironolactione 25mg 3pills in the morning
3pills in the evening

Spiro blocks the male hormones so if you are planning to get pregnant then they will not put you on this. It has cause my dark patch on chin to lighten and the hair to go back to a fine feeling.
I hope this helps and hope to learn more about how to use this site.. .

Take Care,
soulsister4life
