Default Any Sask Cysters?

I was just curious to see if there are any other ladies from Sask? I was curious and searched to see if there were any (real life) support groups for PCOS in Saskatoon... and nada... so was wondering if there is anyone other than moi?

I live in Regina, Sask Yup, absolutely nothing here for support whatsoever. Dr told me be happy you have a baby and lose weight.

Blah...It makes me sad and angry that our Regina doctors are not supportive and informative about PCOS.

Who's your doctor? (so I can cross him/her off my list of potential doctors..lol) If you don't mind saying...

I just moved to Sask. I am in Lanigan, hour and a bit drive east of Saskatoon. I just moved from Edmonton so you can imagine the culture shock..

From reading what everyone has said it sounds like it might be better to keep my Edmonton doc and just drive there for appts. Might mean less headaches. It is something that I didn't want to do but may not have a choice.

Yep, I'm in Saskatoon! We had a great endo but she's left as the Sask health region is idiot central.
