Need PCOS advice

Hello guys,

I'm a female of 33 years old and suffering from PCOS symptoms for probably around 3 years now. Visited GP number of times had few blood tests, what they recommended is to have a proper diet and exercises to maintain healthy lifestyle. No pills recommended.

I have put on weight like 10-12 kg within last year. Loads of PCOS symptoms such as delayed in my cycles (I have got periods 2 times for this entire year), heavy flow for 4 days when it happened, hyperpigmentation, skin tags, rough skin, hair loss, mood swings. Meanwhile I cannot do cardio, high intensity workouts as I'm suffering from sciatic pain. Feel so hard to manage all these things and I cannot overcome this lack of self esteem. Always feeling stressful.

Can anyone recommend any medications apart from exercising and diet or fasting? Even though I'm following these it doesn't help me at all. And please let me know how to persuade GP to get a medication for this PCOS? And any idea how I could mitigate these symptoms? I feel so depressed, please kindly help me through sharing your opinion.

Thanks in advance!

I have just been diagnosed with PCOS after 6 years of 'unexplained infertility'Have you tried supplementing with inositol? I was recommended to start taking 3 X 500mg of inositol a day and also vitamin D supplement if your not already taking as PCOS girlies are often deficient in vitamin D.
