Women with PCOS and/or IR, I have some questions?!


Question: Women with PCOS and/or IR, I have some questions!?
I'm about 99% sure I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) with IR (Insulin Resistance)!. I've known it for about 5 years now and I have had doctors diagnose me with both conditions, only for another doctor to say I'm "normal"!. It is extremely frustrating and I'm becoming more and more tired physically and mentally as each day goes by!. I just want someone to tell me what is wrong with me and give me some medicine to make me feel better!
My main question is will my fatigue and brain fog go away with medication!? I feel like I can hardly function in everyday life!. What about my dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis!? I can't stand the itching and flakes anymore!.
Last but not least, what about the weight!? Does the medication (Metformin, Glucophage, etc!.) give your body a jump start for losing weight!? I've tried dieting and exercising to no avail!.
I just want to feel halfway normal again!. I'd love to hear your experience with this medication!. Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I was diagnosed almost ten years ago now and still take the metformin daily and still see an endocrinologist yearly!. The medicine should never be used solely for the purpose of losing weight but it did help me lose some weight!. After being on the same dosage for some time, though, the weight loss levels off!. I have experienced diarrhea and quite a bit of nausea being on the medicine, but for me it is worth it!. Because I have pcos/ir, I have fertility problems so anything I can do to correct this problem is worth any price I have to pay!.
My best advice would be to see an endocrinologist if you haven't done so already!. I was mis-diagnosed for years before I finally had enough and demanded a referral to one!. He is the only one who actually said there was a problem and wanted to do something about it!.
Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
