I have PCOS and in less thena year I no longer suffer from the symptoms of PCOS....due to meds, exercise, and eating right. I would suggest getting Managing PCOS for Dummies. It has helped me a lot. There is no cure right now for PCOS but you can reduce the symptoms. I sadly learned this weekend that even after menopause or if you have everything taken out.......we will still have PCOS....that kinda sucks, but you can control it.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
