Default fun stuff....

I saw the endo today.

He told me for the Hirsutism I can take spironolactone (sp)

he said it would be for purely cosmetic purposes and I have nothing wrong with me, but its the only known drug that can stop some of the excess hair growth. So that with the vaniqa (which is so expensive!) should help and eventually laser.

I am scared of taking the spirono stuff. Reading about it online it seems to be a diuretic and helps people with high blood pressure which I dont have.

I also read stuff that said it caused cancer in rats.

I cant deal with the hair but I also dont want cancer, I dont know what to do. Sighs

He said take the diuretic 3 times a day and the glucophage 500mg twice a day.
Add that to my GLA, CLA and multivitamin that I take 3 times a day and I will feel like a total pill junkie.
