[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 283437, member: 6479"] I've got the standard PCOS ovaries, but yeah - the cysts can be deeper, so that they don't show normally. Polycystic ovaries is a syndrome anyway - and we all know that's shorthand for "haven't figured it out yet, so we're lumping you all together". HOWever - my cortisol levels were checked, and mine were glaringly normal. If you're having nutty cortisol levels, that's something OTHER than PCOS. Or at least, in addition to. I mean, they test our cortisol levels to make sure it's not Cushing's or some other thyroid/adrenal issue before SETTLING onto a PCOS diagnosis. So it makes me mad that no one's ever gotten to the bottom of this for you, Star. There's a lot of literature trying to tie all of these officially into the autoimmune spectrum. I've got another minor issue that's autoimmune (vitiligo), so I won't be surprised when they finally come out and decide for it. Like Barbara's daughter, I take metformin. It's been a semi-miracle drug for me - at least it is letting me lose weight, which was impossible with-o it. Blah! Can't we all just be healthy for 5 minutes? [/QUOTE]
