Welcome to 2010 - Who's still out there?
Thanks for sharing - it's always good to know what works for different people. I agree with you that diet is absolutely key.
My diet works the most for me - when I found Atkins in 2008 that irradicated all my symptoms - weight gain, obesity, high blood pressure, insomnia, joint pains, mood swings and my skin looked generally brighter and healthier.
I don't know if Metformin regulates periods or again whether that came from my diet? Clomid regulated me though.
I ended up cutting my hair back to its crop rather than shoulder length because of how thin it was looking and that boosted the condition of it because I was no longer using my straighteners and associated products.
I was in Induction on Atkins when I fell pregnant and instead of moving straight to life time maintenance I actually stopped, which I think was silly. Now I'm back on it (two weeks) and hopefully I'll get back to how I felt.
What do you think are the most important elements of treatment for PCOS? What works for you?
I just feel like I know all I need to know to help me and my symptoms.
Welcome! I wish I felt I knew everything there was to know about PCOS - it seems everytime I learn something new or some new research comes out it throws everything I thought I knew up in the air.
I hope you'll share all your knowledge with us. It's great to have more experienced members.
I've just joined the group but as I've had PCOS for a long time I feel I "know" all I need to know but I thought it would be good to drop by to see what's going on.
Never really got that many responses from the peeps on here re: PCOS, but I try to stick around and check the team site from time to time.
I'm still here. Not as active as usual as I had surgery three weeks ago. I'll be back at it in a couple of weeks.
Best wishes for a Happy & Healthy 2010 everyone!
Our group has fallen eerily silent in the last few months, so I just wanted to see who was still out there and whether people want to resuscitate PCOS Healthy Life Style.
We were such a lovely, supportive group of women I'd love to see us come together again.
