Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
"Metformin is for &#039;PCOS type 1&#039;, insulin resistant, becoming insulin resistant, prediabetic or diabetic. If you&#039;re like me &amp; have no diabetes/non-insulin resistance, you&#039;re &#039;PCOS type 2&#039;. This great drug is NOT for us! My ex PCP &amp; ex Endo both pushed this on me. I took it for almost two years. Over a 2yr span I developed every symptom of hypothyroidism, goitre &amp; my PCOS went crazy! I lost 60% of my hair, choking in my sleep from the goitre &amp; zero energy. I gained 80lbs &amp; my Doctors couldn&#039;t figure out why. Got a new Endo, stopped Metformin! I&#039;m dropping weight &amp; Goitre/hypo GONE! Full Thyroid panel was always perfect btw. Google &quot;5 types of PCOS&quot;!"
