I have PCOS, and actually have polycystic ovaries, but no insulin resistance. I take birth control. It makes life a bit easier.

wow. i tried taking birth control... it made my head hurt, I couldn't get enough oxygen to my brain with my bra on even MOre than usual- hence why I no longer wear a bra) ;O and I was, to be perfectly precise, rendered dumb as rocks by the extra hormones. Also, it made me want to puke in the car even MORe than normal, only I never puke anymore, i just sit there miserable. ;)

;) so, i cannot take those thingies. does anyoen else have all that?
lucky that yo ucan nad it helps you though, so awesome on you for that!

Just thought I would cash in on my own endocrinology.

I have VERY high levels of Adrenaline, which my doctor is trying to regulate with medication.
I'm also transgender, and on HRT. I take an Anti-Androgen and Estradoil. The Oestragen levels are pretty normal, but my T level fluctuates if I ever forget a dose.
