Arrow PCOS in Boots' Health & Beauty Magazine- Spring 2003

For those in the UK who are sent this magazine, look at page 54 and 55. Two whole pages dedicated to PCOS!!

'Living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome'- One woman's story.

With mentions of Victoria Beckham and Jools Oliver, the article consists of an explaination of what PCOS is, the 'facts and figures', one woman's story, managing PCOS and where to get help.
It's a very good read and excellent for those new to the condition

Unhappy Sorry

I'd love to but I haven't got the necessary equipment to get the image online.
I posted this same thread in the 'UK and Irish Cysters' forum and got more replies there, so maybe someone there could give it a try

I've no longer got it as I've passed it on to a friend (who is also a PCOS sufferer). She 'recycles' the magazine because she doesn't get them sent to her. If she's still got it though, I will ask for it back and type some of it up here
