Default Pcos

I didn't see this when searching this thread. PCOS - Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome.

I would love to see a forum for this one. Two of my daughters have this. One has it fairly badly and the other just a bit. It's come down to them from their late father's side of the family.

Even after all the research I've done I still don't know much about it. It causes all kinds of secondary problems such as insulin resistance...or is that glucose resistance? I get confused. The common treatments include the Pill and Glucophage. One of my daughters was on the Pill for this and she ended up with a blood clot in her lung at age 17. The one that has it the worst is now scared to take the pill and currently is not on any treatment for it.

There has to be more and granted, I've not done any *recent* research on this condition. Maybe a forum here for this might help centralize the information.

Thanks!
