Review: I WISH I had found this before I had to have a hysterectomy!

I have had PCOS for almost 20 years and I have consulted many doctors. But, they told me that if I didn't plan to get pregnant, I wouldn't have to worry about it since it isn't "a big issue".Then after all these years, I now find myself plagued with conditions like hypothyroidism, obesity and Diabetes type 1 with insulin resistance due to this condition.Recently, I consulted this one doctor who saw my conditions and asked me if I had been diagnosed with PCOS before. I told him "Yes" and exactly what the previous doctors said. He hit the roof! He told me more than 74% of my health issues are because of PCOS and not one doctor deemed it important to treat me for it because I do not want to get pregnant.Feeling lost, I found this book and bought it immediately because I have never seen a book like this before so I thought "why not?"I wish I had found this book 20 years ago. It explains more about managing this condition than webmd.com and the mayo clinic website. There is no pre-requisite that you have to want to have children to treat this disease.It has a meal plan which I like and just the fact that it includes that there is more to PCOS than just not being able to get pregnant makes this the first and only book that I have found with helpful information. Moreover, it's really easy to read and follow. You have to check it out yourself.
