As more and more research is being done on PCOS, more associations with other illnesses are being found.

Dr. John Lee recommends using natural progesterone to treat PCOS as it suppresses the luteinizing hormone and therefore ovarian cysts are not stimulated. He states that in many women, cysts may then shrink with the passage of several menstrual cycles.

POF and PCO are very different. In the classic case of ovarian failure, there are no eggs in the ovary. In PCO ovulation does not occur regularly but the number of eggs in the ovary is normal. Both may be associated with the absence of menses. There is an excellent discussion of PCO in the Merck Manual-Home Edition (written by me) and which I can not improve upon. It is brief.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine (hormonal) disorder in women of reproductive age. This disorder is a "syndrome" which is defined as having a set of symptoms.

This is a condition in which many follicles are produced and cause accumulation of fluid in the abdomen and sometimes in the chest. The abdominal fluid causes bloating. The fluid in the chest causes breathlessness. This condition is usually temporary. However women with poly cystic ovaries have an increased sensitivity to FSH and are more susceptible to severe hyperstimulation.

Occupational pathogenesis seems to be the most frequent cause for development of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. There seems to be an association between repetitive work activities, both in the presence (greater risk) or absence of great force.

The cause of restless legs syndrome is unknown. It may be genetic because it runs in families. Conditions such as iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia, kidney failure, pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease may be associated with it. However, most people who seek treatment do not have one of these other conditions. Restless legs syndrome may result from abnormal balances of iron in your blood and of the brain chemical dopamine.

Remember, all eight glyconutrients (super sugars) found exclusively in Revivol™ make-up your body's glycoprotein's. Patients with CFS have reduced production of cell membrane glycoprotein activities, compared to non-CFS patients. Also, studies show, natural killer (NK) cell function (also dependent on normal cell surface glycoprotein's) was much lower in CFS patients, than patients without CFS. Revivol™ can significantly improve NK cell activity.
