malia~ I had to do a lot of research and self diagnose but my physician confirmed it. I have PCOS. IT is now under control. As I am not trying to get pregnant I take natural progesterone cream and saw palmetto to control the symptoms: acne, hair loss, and weight gain. I do a low carb diet because I am diabetic but do not take meds for diabetes b/c of potential liver damage.

Sometimes (alot of the time) we cannot rely on our (western) health care providers, they just don't have the time.
