I had PCOS from age 15 - 25. It got really bad after age 20. I started Metformin which I ended up being allergic to. It made me violently ill. I did some research and started taking SPIRONOLACTIN. I took it for a year and a half and my ab scans showed that all the cysts had disappeared. I stopped taking it after two years. My last ab scan was still clear. It has been two years since I stopped taking the pills and I have had no symptoms or cysts come back.
Ask your doctor about it. It might help you like it helped me.0 -

Thanks for that info. Metformin didn't help me either so I will ask my doctor about this!0 -
I have pcos. Just had lap band 4 days ago in hopes of helping with fertility issues...already have one beautiful son...struggling with this new change but longer life and a healthy life is worth it all. They say if you lose all the weight, your symptoms go away...anyone else heard that?0

I have had PCOS for years. I am really struggling with my weight. If anything I end up putting more on!
I am at my biggest ever and I am miserable. People don't seem to realise just how hard it is.
I'd love people to add me, I don't have many friends on here and would love some support from those struggling too xx0 -
