Hey ladies,
Just wanted to mention that I've been taking saw palmetto (320mg in the morning) for a week now and have notice a dramatic difference in my acne. I seem to be breaking out a lot less and the scars are healing more quickly. This is even after a less than stellar week of eating too (it's hard to get off the sugar bandwagon once you get back on it!)
I'm hoping this success keeps up - it's been about a year now since I've had clear skin and I'm really ready to be done with this acne! The fact that this is working seems to signify that my acne is PCOS related. I have yet to be diagnosed, but have my suspicions as to what's going on with my body. See my earlier post for more details.
Also I have an appointment with an endocrine in two weeks! I'm getting no support from my gyno, but I'm pretty sure I have PCOS. I'm really hoping the endo will check my hormone levels and put me on Met. This extra weight I've put on and can't seem to get off needs to go! A mostly healthy diet seems to be getting my periods back to normal however.
Best of luck to everyone - keep trying different things - you never know what just might do it for you!
