A member asked:
I have developed a swollen face since puberty.i have pcos.my thyroid and cortisol are normal. what could be the reason for this swollen face?

PCOS: Polycysitic ovaries will cause weight gain and a "swollen face." I believe you are also probably functionally hypo-thyroid, even though your blood tests are "normal." Thyroid blood tests are generally a waste of blood. You need Metformin and the herb Berberine for PCOS (500 mg of each, 3 times daily).
