MamaTiger Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 *I* do have PCOS, diagnosed in 1995 along with diabetes. There appears to be some connection between diabetes and PCOS as well. there are some natural treatments (herbs) that can help if anyone is interested. Link to comment

Momo Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mama Tiger, could you post some of the herbal treatment suggestions? There could be some ladies who this would help. They might be too embarassed to ask you to post them. HappyGirl..that is great news about losing the weight! I am sure I had PCOS a few years back. Before it had a name or much was known about it. I have had some of the serious side effects because of this. Fortunately, I am doing pretty good now. Link to comment
