I have PCOS and I'm overweight. I've tried to lose weight and sustained efforts alongside running have provided me with very little in the way of weight loss. It's so demotivating. I've discussed insulin resistance with my gynae, but she doesn't really seem too concerned because I'm not TTC. I spoke to my GP and she wanted me to talk to the gynae because of how it relates to PCOS. Today, in a desperate moment I found myself attempting to buy metaformin online, because I believe that my difficulty losing weight is linked to insulin resistance. I was rejected, which is no doubt a good thing since I've not been prescribed it and no one would be monitoring me, but I feel like such an idiot (hence the new ID ).
I'm not sure what I want to achieve by posting.
Am I being silly? Do I have a point? We have private health care through DH work, perhaps a more sensible approach would be to ask my GP for help and if she says no, ask if she'd be willing to refer me for private assessment?
