PCOS

I have PCOS. Losing weight basically fixed most of it, though I still have the beard hair problem. (I never had the ovarian cysts, as far as I know.) From what I've read, I think most of the symptoms stem simply from insulin resistance, which is basically something that leads to Type 2 diabetes, which you want to avoid anyway. Insulin resistance is fixed by exercise and eating a healthy diet that results in maintaining a healthy weight.
