Since last time I checked in here I have tried a couple different things. I decided to try the Yaz BC and a week after I started the pills I was a total wreck! If you have high DHEAS I wouldn't recommend it. In a week I was broke out in acne all over my body, and I was having really serious anxiety problems by the 7th night. I have been on 1000 of Met and 50 of Spiro and just do the best I can with that. The Met makes me sick a lot of the time, and I quit taking it for about 3 weeks but my symptoms of acne, weight, and anxiety were all coming back so I have started taking it again.

So I have resigned myself to the fact that in order for me to manage all of this I have to take my meds, eat a low calorie diet and exercise. I usually run 3-4 miles 5 days a week. After several months of meds, diet and exercise my DHEAS have come down. When I took both the Met and the Spiro alone I still had symptoms, so I think it is the combination that has helped along with diet and exercise. My Endo feels that this is the best we can do because after a couple CT scans and ultrasounds there are no tumors showing up. I am now testing my blood sugar also because I am not diabetic but taking Met and he wants me to be sure my blood sugar is not getting too low. Some of the sickness that I was describing worried him that my sugar was dropping too much. I hope this helps somebody else! I have felt like an experiment and I'm sure many of you do also. Good Luck!
