Hi, i hope i'm doing this right! I've never been on a message board before and I'm not quite sure how to post a message! I'm new to this site also, so please bear with me. I was dignosed with PCOS last year. The doc put me on metformin and spiro, I have a lot of facial and body hair, and I've been steadily losing the hair on my head. At the time of the diagnosis I was really depressed and thought that I had really done all of this to myself. I felt like if I took the metformin then somehow I was admitting defeat, so after about a month I quit taking it. DUMB! I have only just realized in the last month or so that I really need to be taking the meds. So I'm back on them. I took the spiro several years ago and had great results but became frustrated with the doctor that I had at the time and quit seeing her and therefore quit taking the spiro. My new doc put me on it last year and again I had good results but I was also losing my head hair at an accelerated pace so I stopped taking it. I would love to know of any other solutions to both the hair growth and the hair loss problems. I have only been back on metformin for about three weeks so I haven't noticed any big differences in the way I'm feeling yet. I'm eating an all natural, low carb diet and using organic foods when I can.( Trying to avoid food hormones as much as possible) I have lost 10 pounds so far, but have about 70 more to go. I've only just begun to walk 30 minutes a day, that is a bigger struggle for me than the diet change, but I know I have to do it if I'm going to have a chance of fighting this thing. I have had symptoms of PCOS for many years but never a dignosis, I'm a bit frustrated that it took so long to get a dignosis, but am glad to finally know what I'm dealing with. I really thought there was some character defect in me! I have been so hard on myself for many years because of this condition, I feel like I am finally starting to heal emotionally from it. Has anyone else gone through this self loathing? If so, what helped you to not be so hard on yourself anymore?
