daughter with PCOS. any advice welcome
      11/06/2009 10:34

My 26 year old daughter has PCOS. she was finally diagnosed last year but the condition has been building up for a while. She has the weight gain and excess hair symptoms. Her GP has been very good, he put her on Metoforin which she took for several months but the side effects were such that she had to discontinue it. I try so hard to keep her confidence up, like most young women she likes to look good and I know the facial hair and weight gain are difficult for her. The facial hair is fair so laser treatment is not suitable so she gets threading done. I was just hoping to get some adivce from another Mum on how to help my daughter.
