Re: Menstrual cycle question - PCOS

[Guest guest]

Hi -

U. here has PCOS also in addition to Graves'. Having PCOS with Graves'

is not uncommon. She should probably pop in here soon. I changed the subject

header to say PCOS, so maybe that will catch her attention quickly. She just

had her twins a few months ago, so she is a busy woman now

I believe that her doctor was treating her PCOS with glucophage, and that

was working for her. But I'm sure she can give you all the details.
