CD 57

So today is day 2 on d-chiro-inositol (DCI). I'm not sure what I expected. Actually, I expected to feel awful. I thought, like Metformin, I'd be sick to my stomach, or stuck in the bathroom, or, I don't know, shaky or something. But I feel, well, nothing. I feel like I'm getting over the flu, which is appropriate, because I'm getting over the flu. Other than that, I'm cautiously optimistic.

I emailed the VP of a company that manufactures DCI, and he said I should take it first thing in the morning with my breakfast. He also recommended I start with the highest dose (1200 mg) and work my way backwards. I think that seems a bit like shocking your body, so I'm sticking to my instincts - starting for a week at 300 mg, then next week hitting 600 mg, which is my recommended dosage. The VP also suggested I look into Vitamin D research. Supposedly PCOS is linked with a Vitamin D deficiency, and suggested I go on a D3 supplement.

At this point, is seems as if every time I do more research, there are more twists and turns that point to this and that as the root cause of PCOS. I figure if I try it all, maybe I'll hit pay dirt with one of them?
