How do I find a PCOS doctor that will listen to me?!


Question: How do I find a PCOS doctor that will listen to me!?
I was told I may have PCOS by my doctor!. ( I have very irregular periods, weird facial hair, depression and very thin hair on top of being very overweight) I want to talk to a doctor about this, but it seems that no one listens to me!. I've been trying to lose weight for quite some time, but everytime I exercise I get extremely dizzy and get an extreme headache!. I eat well, but I still can't lose weight!. Instead I have times where I gain several LBS in a week!.

Everytime I try to tell my doctor about this, they avoid the answer or just tell me to "exercise and eat better!." ---I never get any answers!.

How do I find a doctor that will listen to me!?

It's kinda expensive to constantly get tests done, and end with no answers about the dizziness, or extreme weight gain in short periods, ETC!.!.!.

Please help! (I'm in the Chicago area)Www@Answer-Health@Com

A!. There are definitely times when hormones don
