Summary: A great place to start!
Review: Best-Boss knows has done a good job of outlining the basics of PCOS. It is an easy read and a great introduction to living with PCOS. So often women tell me that their doctors give them a diagnosis and send them on their way without any answers. This book should be required reading for all endocrinologists and GYNs. Perhaps then they would understand that PCOS is a complicated syndrome that is so much more than what we weigh or whether we can get pregnant on demand. Best-Boss offers a soothing explanation that can help diffuse the panic so many women feel when they first learn that they have PCOS. Read this book, then send a copy to your doctor!

Summary: Very informative
Review: I read this book and found it be very informative. It's written in plain english with no big complicated words, therefore easy for any person to read. Through study, I have found that there are many women out there who suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome and they don't know alot about the disorder , which causes irregular menstrual cycles, excess facial and body hair, weight gain, and adult acne. It's also a leading cause of infertility and if left untreated, the condition carries long term risk for endometrial cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. This book sheds light on the condition, it explains it well, talks about over-coming symptoms, choosing a doctor, getting diagnosed and coping with the emotional impact. I think the book is very informative and I highly recommend it to all women, if you don;t suffer from polcystic ovary syndrome, chances are you might know someone who does.

Summary: Very good for newly diagnosed women
Review: I really like this book, it is very easy to read and eventhough it isn't very long it tells you almost everything you need to know about PCOS. I bought this book along with "What to do when the doctor says it's PCOS" and the "PCOS diet book" and I feel like I know a lot more about my desease than I did before, it's a must have for women with PCOS.

Summary: VERY easy to comprehend!!
Review: I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS and I purchased every book I could find on the subject. This book, by far, was the easiest to comprehend. It puts things into laymans terms without all the techinal mumbo-jumbo. Not only does it cover the symptoms of PCOS, but it also explains WHY things happen the way they do. Above all else, it goes through the different options PCOS suffers have in fighting the disorder, and lists the pros and cons of each. This is certainly a book I would recommend for anyone diagnosed with PCOS or their family members to help them understand more about what is going on with your body.

Summary: Great for someone new to PCOS
Review: If your interested in looking for alternative therapies for PCOS this isn't the book to get. It was helpful in explaining and detailing the Syndrome but when it came to alternatives they leaned more towards perscribed medication and western medicine being the more wise route to take in healing and controlling PCOS Symptoms.Side effects for Prescribed medication were also left out in this book. If there was mention, then it was that blatant that it went un-noticed by me.
