Inositol
Hi Ladies, Thanks so much for such an awesome forum. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in having IR PCOS and I've learned so much reading others' questions and answers.

Here goes nothin'...
I did it. I started my life transformation 3 days ago. I took a leap of faith and asked for help--which is oh-so-hard for me.
