They do all the right things! I started with the typical stuff that people said would help: the pill, the diet and exercise, etc... but it did nothing for years. I went to a specialist who, instead of just telling me that my testosterone was too high, explained to me what all of my lab results meant. She explained what all the numbers meant, what was good and what actually needed the help, and then how to give myself the help! Instead of treating PCOS with all the cookie cutter things, it's important to realize that every one of us is still different. There are specific imbalances in your body that have been stacked under this one umbrella called PCOS. A specialist will show you how you are different, and which specific aspects of treatment you need to focus on. I feel like I know what I'm doing now, and I don't have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off hoping something will save me.
