Re: Lines in forehead

"Acanthosis Nigricans" Danni had that across the back of
her neck.. I just figured the little *** wasn't washing her neck
all the way and I'd tell her to go bathe again.. But the doctor
saw it and thats when she gave her a C-Peptide.. interesting
when it came back at 10.8 and dx'd her with PCOS because
of her IR factor.. Now she's been on metformin, it's almost
completely cleared up..

You're absolultely correct Julie..

| problems. I lost mine and they came back once my thyroid was stable.
| Yellowing of the whites of the eyes can indicate a cholesterol problem.
I'm
