I haven't heard of it before. > It's PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome, which I was falsely diagnosed with shortly before I became pregnant with this baby that's on my lap and eating my arm. (She's four months old yesterday.) If I remember correctly, when a woman has PCOS, her ovaries are constantly covered with cysts causing her to not be able to ovulate. It also causes hormonal imbalances, or else the imbalances cause the PCOS. Can't remember. But it's a vicious circle, has no cure, but many women are finding improvement when they go on low carb, moderate protein diets like the zone or atkins or CAD or Protein Power. It's also characterized by obesity and hirsutism (male-like hair growth), lack of normal menstrual cycles, infertility (naturally, considering), a tendency to be insulin resistent and a few other things.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 1999 Report Share Posted September 2, 1999 Janet, I had my left ovary removed due to a cyst that took over. When they went in, they removed several cysts off of my organs. In fact, I've had 11 misscarriages. They think in part due to a bicorniated uterus, I have two sets of horns. I am also very diabetic during pregnancies. I've adopted all but one of my children, a miracle baby. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Michigan. We have friends who live in The Netherlands. When they visited us two years ago, our granddaughter was almost a year old. They taught her to say Opa and Oma. So that's what we are called all the time now. I've heard that in Germany it's Ope and Ome, but they may be pronounced the same. Wishing a good weekend to everyone!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 , That site describes the conventional allopathic approach to pcos but there is another approach that addresses the cause and doesnt use synthetic hormones. This makes for healthier mother and baby. Gracia > Hi--PCOS will go away with thyroid hormone that has both T3 and > T4.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 then what you're saying is that PCOS goes away with thyroid hormones, which are also allopathic in the grand spectrum. ----Original Message Follows---- From: " Gracia " <circe@...> Reply-hypothyroidism <hypothyroidism > Subject: Re: PCOS Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 21:39:09 -0400 , That site describes the conventional allopathic approach to pcos but there is another approach that addresses the cause and doesnt use synthetic hormones.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Have just been diagnosed with PCOS and my gyno is sending me to an endo to be put on Glucophage. I believe that BC pills are the old way of treating PCOS and they have found that you must get high insulin levels under control to get everything else working correctly. Email me privately if you want to. Lu lwaara@... PCOS Does anyone have any experience with PCOS. The doctor says that my only treatment option is to take bc pills. I understand that is a big no no. So what does one do? Any comments to me personally would be appreciated. erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Don't know who you addressing this to, but Glucophage is a prescription drug for insulin and glucose control that is used for Type II diabetics and off-label to control excess insulin in women with PCOS and anyone with insulin insensitivity. Don't know why you are so angry. I have been dealing with candida for over twenty years and have just found the source of my troubles. If you don't trust the information you got before, try someone else. It can take lots of money and lots of time to get to the root of the problem, and I do believe that everyone with candida has an underlying problem. I didn't have insurance when I started this quest, just had the tests done as I could afford them. Like I said, it took me over twenty years to even find someone who would listen and of all people I have tried, it was a regular MD. Did lots of tests and kept plugging away until she found the exact problem, which is the PCOS, but until a definitive test is developed, things have to be eliminated one at a time.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 You know I hope they did?? She went through a lot of gyn's her first year in school (and before) and they did 4 internals but that does not mean they found anything--they did not do ultrasounds and that is probably what you need to do to check the ovaries for PCOS. I keep on hoping it's her low temps that have stopped her P. I sent her all the symptoms of this illness to double check herself when one of our posters mentioned it last time (can't remember who right now) (PMS for me--ha! (?) But I realize that half of the stuff I send she never reads or misses something important. This is not good that she is not reading everything--too much to pay attention to. But I think with studying so much she can't take it all in. I told her last night that I found that last quote on exactly her condition with low tsh, low t4 and even lower t3--that she definitely has hypo conditions whether her doctor thinks so or not--it was there in black and white--she must be treated! I have looked in hundreds of articles and there is was her exact condition finally listed, I have talked with a researcher out of U. of Colorado on his paper of negative reverse tsh readings and he confirmed my thoughts on M. The crazy part is that I have read this website (e-medicine) many times and missed it. But looking it over again for someone else I found M's condition listed except there is no name given for it. Now she has to go to doctor who will read this and treat her accordingly. tina -- In hypothyroidism , " K a r e n P " <karlynn17@h...> wrote: > Tina, did the docs look into PCOS?? > > > ----Original Message Follows---- > From: " tina83862 " <tina8386@a...> > Reply-hypothyroidism > hypothyroidism > Subject: Re: la > Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2003 18:47:08 -0000 > > Well you never know if they will always be impaired after going > through all of this.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hello, I just took my first dose last night and am anxious and hoping that this will be the answer to my problems. I suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome and my doctor feels that this can possible help with this hormonal issue. Is there anyone out there with experience regarding pcos? I am so happy for those of you who are finding success. Thank you, Stefani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hi Stefani, I have been wondering how you have been doing with LDN and PCOS. My daughter also has it. She might consider taking LDN for her PCOS. My husband is doing great with his MS and my mom seems to be doing well with Parkinson's and LDN. Thanks for updating me. My best Aletha [low dose naltrexone] pcos Hello, I just took my first dose last night and am anxious and hoping that this will be the answer to my problems.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Aletha, She's not trying to get pregnant or anything, just seeing if it seems to help with her symptoms. It's probably been just less than a month she's been using LDN and she feels it has suppressed her appetite a bit, which with PCOS weight gains can only be a good thing. I noted with interest the post the other day re PCOS and iodine as our family has a history of thyroid related problems eg. an aunt had a huge goitre and my sister and a second cousin have had thyroid cancer. I forwarded the link to my daughter and wife.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 > > Hello Bee- here. Just curious do you think this diet can cure PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome)? or am I doing the wrong thing? +++Hi . I had many cysts, both ovarian and bladder, and since curing my candida I haven't had them. Also see this article that discussed women's health issues, including PCOS: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/women7.php The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 > > Hi again Bee- Does the hairloss from pcos ever end? do you know anyone with pcos that got better? +++Hi . We don't have any Success Stories at the moment, but I cured my PCOS and stopped losing hair. The fact is that health problems are only cured by providing your body with the nutrients it requires so it can heal itself naturally - of course you must also eliminate toxins and foods that feed candida, bacteria and even cancer (this diet), and also eliminate toxins and damaging foods. If you follow Nature's Fundamental Laws on health Nature will reward you! You need to believe in your body's ability to heal itself IF you treat it right.
