> Hi Liv! Excuse me, but what is PCOS?

PCOS = poly cystic ovarian syndrome

It is an autoimmune illness. Take a look at this link:

http://www.pcosupport.org/medical/whatis.php#pcos

I happened to have a few autoimmune illnesses. Hypothyroid (TSH was 98, normal is 0.5-3.5), PCOS, premature menopause, insulin resistance. And nobody seems to know if they are related. But my personal experience seem to point to insulin resistance, which I have self diagnosed as having, since Metformin is working so well for me. The glucose tests were normal, but there is a special test that can be done to show insulin res. that I have not taken since I’m on metformin. My PMDD, PCOS and premature menopause is gone as long as I faithfully take metformin. But when I stop metformin or take only one pill a day (I need 3 a day to get symptom free), the PMDD and menopause symptoms comes right back.
