Dear Scott
You seem like an extremely knowledgeable person that has a real broad base of medical information. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the latest "in" thing to look for in women with depression, weight gain, etc. There actually is quite a high incidence rate. You don't have to have "polycystic ovaries" ...that was just used to first describe it, since they initially found it in women who were infertile or had multiple miscarriages/difficulty conceiving. Now the infertility isn't even a necessity in the diagnosis. The only reason I'm up on it is because they ruled it out on me on this road to possible hypercortisolim. I never even thought it was a possibility since I don't have the polycystic or infertility things. At any rate, there are tons of resources on the net regarding PCOS, and you will see it discussed more and more. You may want to research it since you are one of our "bottles of knowledge" on this site. Can I ask what your background is for all this information you know? I read your posts, and I find them really knowledgeable and I learn a lot! If you don't feel like sharing, I definetly understand! Thanks for the tons of wonderful posts. I look for them to learn something whenever I'm on here. Jennifer
