Default NEW to thread Old to pcos

Hey everyone! I am 27 and have been dealing with pcos for what seems like forever...I have been on BC to regulate my TOM. I have all the horrible symptoms; Hair on my face (I literally have to shave like everyday and I never ever leave my house without makeup cause my face is scarred from ingrown hairs but wait it gets better...I am almost bald too...I barely have hair on the side of my head or by my neck line (((((sigh))))) b4 I leave the house, I have to make sure that my makeup is perfect but really who am I kidding AND that every piece of hair is perfectly placed to hide the bald spots (sorry for the rant but this is the first time I get to speak about this)....I have managed to lose 80lbs on my own and I just want to feel comfy in my own skin but I feel like I will never be happy with my overall appearance because I am always hiding behind a mask....


I went to my gyno and he put me on metformin (500 mg a day) and I am so scared about taking this drug, I have read here and on other board that it causes MORE hair loss! I can not afford to lose anymore! ....has anyone experienced the opposite???? did it help you shed the hair on your body and regain it on your head? (((fingers crossed))))....thanks for letting me vent....I am just really tired of having to live with this.....
