Question does met help with hair????

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone has seen any improvements in her hair (both excess facial/body hair and thinning head hair) while on Met/Gluc?

I have been taking Yasmin BCP and 100mg spiro for quite a while, but my endo wants me to drop the spiro and take just the Yasmin and Gluc XR (I can't seem to tolerate all 3 meds at once).

Once again, has anyone seen hair improvement with Met/Gluc?

Hi,

I have been taking met for about a year now, and I have seen some improvement on my facial hair its not as bad as before I used to pluck twice a day now I only pluck everyother day, but not on my head I'm still losing alot of hair, my hair is very thin so it looks really bad.

Default anybody else?

167 views and only 3 posts? I know that many of you take met or gluc, and I'm assuming that you have issues with excess or loss of hair (otherwise, why would you bother to read this forum?). Does anyone else have any info about met/gluc and its effects on excess or loss of hair?
Thanks!!!

Maybe you could ask people in the Met forum to come over here and vote?
