Default Another Newbie!

Hi there

My name is Louise, I'm 27, I have an 8 year old daughter and a fantastic other half, and I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2008.
My symptoms are cysts, acne, hair :-( and excess weight.
My GP was fantastic and got me an appointment with the local specialist within 1 month.
Unfortunately he was as much use as a chocolate fireguard and tried to fob me off with Dianette, even when I told him I couldn't take it.

I had to go back to my GP who wrote a fantastically blunt letter to the hospital and I got more thorough tests done and was put on Metformin 1500mg.

It hasn't really made a difference and I have been on it for 5 months now. Due back at hospital in July, but not quite sure what they can do if that med isn't working.

Sorry, I tend to waffle on a bit :-)
