Polycystic Ovarion Syndrome..

[floatingurboat]

A couple weeks ago I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (aptly abbreviated to P.O.S lol), and I guess the question I was looking to ask was whether or not other ladies here have it and what they do to manage it (if anything) I go to see the endocrinologist for the first time in a week or two, so hopefully I'll get some clearer information on the subject. As it stands I've done some research online, not enough though I'm sure.. Does this amplify your MS symptoms for anyone else? I feel like death warmed over when I get mine and it's just downright painful, added to the annoyance of never having a predictable period. I did a search through the forums and it doesn't seem as though this issue has really been brought up, so I thought I'd start a thread on the subject. Any shared experiences with this would be greatly appreciated.

I was diagnosed with it about 4-5 years ago. It hasn't really affected me that much other than having irregular cycles. The last 2 years or so they've been more painful as well--stabbing pains. The NP I saw at my last annual didn't say much about treating it. I really need to go back and see my OB for my next appt and see if there's anything else I should be doing. I was really never given that much information about it from the dr; I've done a little research on my own but I seem to get mixed info about what else I could/should do to treat it.
