Also maybe some bosu ball exercises and stability ball (core work, pectoral exercise (with freeweight) while laying with your back on the ball, situps, contralateral/ipsilateral leg and arm raise on your stomach ( the superman) if you can tolerate it).

Go online too, a lot of the time the company has coupons you can use when you go to get it at the pharmacy. My doctor often gave me coupons and sample tubes. I wish I had my before and after photos to post, not sure where they are but in about 1 month it cleared a lot.

Most of the time you will get pain when standing on your toes or inverting your ankle when you have posteromedial shin splints. Anterolateral shin splints hurt…

My dermatologist prescribed ziana. I did antibiotics with it for a bit but there is no way I was going to keep taking those for months. Ziana is a topical gel and i started off once a day then up to 2x per day as it can be drying. It did very well to clear hyperpigmentation and breakouts. My face is pretty clear now buy oh…

You should eat MORE than 2-3 times. Your metabolism will be slower than it could be optimally. When you skip meals or fast for long hours like that you don't do your diet justice. I eat ~5 times with a few hundred calories every few hours.

Actually men can have their own version of PCOS as Syndrome X/Metabolic syndrome. Basically they can be insulin resistant.

Oh and Byetta also is known for its side effect of weight loss. It does slow down digestion therefore you have a tendency to eat less and feel fuller longer.

It is an injection usually prescribed to diabetics and some doctors are prescribing it for glycemic control for PCOS. It is GLP-1 receptor agonist and helps to control the excessive insulin response(as occurs in PCOS). I give myself 2 shots per day to supplement my 2000mg of metformin.

Definitely look into it and find a good OB/GYN reproductive endocrinologist to give you a panel of tests: hormone levels, fasting glucose etc. Also I had a pelvic ultrasound ( kind of uncomfortable because it is vaginal ) but it will help give you answers.

Enell and Moving Comfort are my favorite name brands to purchase online. It restricts the harsh bouncing and shifting when I do plyometrics. Seejanerun.com is one of the websites that I purchase from. There are also a few others. Can't think of the site names off hand. They may be a bit pricey but any good support bra for…

PCOS/ Metabolic Syndrome/ Syndrome X it is my understanding that the insulin resistance is basically an abnormal response to carbs therefore you have an excessive insulin response, sustaining high levels of insulin in the bloodstream. I have a "normal" fasting glucose as well but it is the high end of normal. Continued…

Insurance, oh boy tell me about it! I work in healthcare and unfortunately cannot get good coverage. I've been told my PCOS is a pre exsisting condition. Sooooo they will not cover it, or my reproductive endocrinologist appointments (considered maintenance by them), Also no insurance company for pre exsisting condition…

Good luck on the baby making! I am not yet married so have not started working on fertility issues. My reproductive endocrinologist is awesome though and has helped a lot in terms of weight management. When I met him I was about 250+ pounds and I am now at 220.....of course still a long way to go to get to 165 but at least…
