Thanks for this - I've also tried Thyroidinum, Folliculinum and Oophorinum
(along with the presenting remedy picture), but I'm unable to say whether it
was successful, as a further diagnostic test has not been sought (but the
hirsutism persists, which raises doubt). However, I'm sure if we all share
our
experiences, we can get some idea of what methodology(ies) works - even just
some of the time! Already Joy has shown that prescribing for the presenting
picture or 'constitutional' - and the case from Lynn (thank you Lynn!) -
underlines how the patient's medical history (ovarian focus) + exciting
cause(s) can
point us in the right direction. It was always thus ! I too have usually
found an emotional causation together with a 'weakness' in this area -
perhaps it could
be on the increase indeed because women are becoming the 'new men' according
to some pundits (strangely, mostly male!) ?

pressure on
women nowadays, and more and more are divorced, separated and
career-orientated, so its perhaps not too surprising PCOS is on the rise
when you consider
the change of hormonal pattern that previous generations might not have
encountered. Just my thoughts on my cases to date anyway ...
The database - not sure how we go about this... Any ideas as to the outline
most welcome! (For instance, we would need separate sections for
pre-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women, as amenorrhea and
sterility in the latter two categories is not an issue). It would certainly
help
us all if we can share our experiences to date. I have a mother and
daughter with the condition and certainly 'grief' seems to play a big part,
but I'm also
looking at "mortified" remedies like Staphisagria, Sepia (+ Foll., etc.,
etc.).
If I get time, I'll try and outline the NBWS for my cases, and hope that
others can do so too.
Best wishes,
Barbara

Dear Barbara
Among the remedies I have tried are the sarcodes including , hypophysin
( pit gld), thyroidinum, and oophorinum as well as the remedies that are
constitutional to their cases..among these Sepia seems to fit the
picture well and Graphite.
I think the idea of a database is good, if people can come up with the
remdies that worked in their cured cases and the sx that called for
those remedies, we could probably compile a database . Also, if we could
just know what kind of foods they ate, their lifestyle then we d have a
clue as to what seems to trigger these cases. They are most definitely
on the rise!
