I have been to numerous nutritionists. My fiance and I went on the same diet for a year. He lost 80 pounds… I gained 30. I’ve been on Metformin twice, both times my blood sugar would plummet and I would pass out. I’ve been on Byetta but it wasn’t practical for me because I have a HUGE phobia of needles and syringes, so I always had to have someone else give me the shot. I’ve been trying to control my PCOS through diet and exercise for the past 8 years to no avail. At this point, I changed Doctors and found someone I really trust and have a lot of faith in. He mentioned that Lap-Band Surgery is a great treatment for this Endocrine Disorder. So I went to a seminar and I have a consultation next Tuesday. My Doctor also tested my Testosterone and it was an 83! He started me on Spironolactone that day (3 days ago) and since I started it I’ve been exhausted. Do you think I’m headed in the right direction? Are there any other “outside- the-box” treatments that might help. I’ve literally tried everything.
Other details, I’m 5’6″, 220lbs, severe acne, no mentrual cycle for the last 10 years or so, male pattern baldness, infertility, terrible mood swings. My fiance is a saint to have put up with my mood swings over the years
