I don't agree with their statement that hair on the lower arms and hands is heriditary, and will not respond to drug treatments. No woman in my family has this but me! Mine showed up at the same time as the hair on my face in my mid-20s. Since I've been taking Met, the hair on my lower arms is quite a bit thinner.

Thankyou so much for this fab article! This is also helpful for those to read who dont have PCOS to understand the basics. I plan to give to my family members so they too can understand
This was excellent reading, thank you. I wish they would publish something like this in every public and local newspaper. It is easy reading and would open so many eyes.
The only thing I disagree with is when they describe the laser treatment as 'moderately painful'. Change that to 'very painful', ha ha ha, but maybe that's just me.
Have you thought about making this a sticky?
Thanks Kat!
I haven't had a chance to read it, but I've saved it to my computer for later viewing.
me too

Sticky is a good idea!
My laser treatments weren't painful at all. My doctor used Cool Glide Laser for hair removal.
