There has been an ongoing discussion on the PCOS Matters Facebook page that seems to have evolved through several topics. One topic that came up was what questions to ask the doctor about PCOS and I remembered this short report I wrote a few years ago. It offers some general questions you should ask at…
In case you missed my updates on Twitter and at the bottom of yesterday’s post on PCOS and Pelvic Pain, we have a Facebook Page. If you are a Facebook user, please come along to the PCOS Matters Facebook page, “Like” us (that basically means becoming a follower of the page) and start chatting about…
