i’ve been tracking my pcos symptoms and treatment progress on careclinic, and i just saw that the fda updated their guidance on pcos treatment. basically, they’re acknowledging that pcos is a complex condition that requires a more nuanced approach. my doc had already been saying this, but it’s nice to see the fda catching up.
what’s interesting is that they’re emphasizing the importance of addressing insulin resistance and androgens, rather than just focusing on fertility. for me, this means that my metformin treatment is on the right track, but i’m still trying to figure out how to manage my acne and hair shedding. has anyone else had any success with inositol or other supplements for skin and hair symptoms?
i’m also curious to know if anyone has had any experience with the new fda guidance, and how it’s affected their treatment plan. the medication tracker on careclinic has been helpful for me in seeing how my symptoms correlate with my treatment, but i’m still trying to make sense of it all. fwiw, it’s reassuring to know that i’m not alone in this, and that there are others out there who are going through similar struggles.
