To the OP-have you been tested for PCOS?
Thanks may be a while b4 I see and Endoc as I have to go to the Rhuemy first then, if she asks for authorization, I go from there. If she doesn't I'll go bug my GP to do it. Gotta love HMOs. I know it sounds odd that an allergist noted it but I was sent there b/c I've had bad eczema or something and they wanted to check for food/pet/whatever allergies which came back NKA. He just did a lot of thorough tests I guess b/c my symptoms could mean an AI disorder too...I guess to figure out what my problem is and what it isn't. And it was the derm that sent me to the allergist. Kinda roundabout I guess.

I admit, I'm rather restless/anxious about all of this! Thanks!

EDIT: Oh gosh still haven't got this signature thing figured out. I want the title to be the link, not the url...
