What To Know About Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) | Dr. Daniel Amen

Do not take metformin for this. Look up PCOS 30 day challenge look up the woman who made this program so many women have had success after years of infertility. I was told to get on metformin and it destroyed me. Once I was off and did her way of things with no crap medication it helped so much more.

Inositol for the win
Metformin is horrible for you

wife HAD?

Pcos doesnt always include ovarian cysts . Cysts can be a driving factor for pcos but a lot of the time it isnt. Chronic stress or insulin resistance can be the driving factor. All of these three drive testosterone , inflammation and hormone dysregulation. There are also nstural suppliments , diet , therapy and exercise that can help . Most women find Metformin creates too many issues . I personally found Metformin was not an option for me as it made me house bound with severe vertigo and feeling drowsy and drunk ehich apparently are uncommon symptoms. Common symptoms are

Abdominal or stomach discomfort

cough or hoarseness

decreased appetite

diarrhea

fast or shallow breathing

fever or chills

general feeling of discomfort

lower back or side pain

muscle pain or cramping

painful or difficult urination

sleepiness

There are better options to help with symptoms such as myo and d chiro 40-1 this helps with period regularity, fertility and mood. Berberine helps with blood sugar and Tumeric and Curcumin suppliments decreases inflammation helping with period pain , achy joints, psoriasis and arthritis . Take a good multi vitamin or more specifically magnesium, vitamin d3 and viramin b complex . Obviously you want to slso get a low impact exercise routine such as pikates, barre , yoga , walking low impact hiit and weight lifting which helps with blood sugar, inflammation and mood. And eat only whole foods and centre your meals on high protein 30g a meal and lots of vegetables

Metformin has horrible side effects. I wouldn’t recommend this medicine to anyone. I’ve been off of it for years and have been great. Changed my lifestyle my diet and take inositol.

What does committing in a relationship have to do with PCOS?

I want to ask why it hard to commit with pcos ? What’s the experience like for her

metfromin is a terrible Rx drugs. look into this.

Does it work if we spike our boyfriend's drink with metformin? :P just kidding. Very interesting, thanks for sharing :)

Doc, only Metformin? There’s no natural way? Does your wife still have to take Metformin or was it a short time?
