The Bristol group met on 3 August. 11 of us came along and shared experiences of our PCOS journey. As usual, there were lots of topics of common interest.
The speakers were from SK:N, a nationwide skin clinic with a branch in Bristol (see
http://www.sknclinics.co.uk/skin/clinic-bristol.html). The clinic does laser hair removal, treating lots of ladies with PCOS. They also offer medication and other treatments for acne and other skin problems. There is a resident dermatologist - seeing her privately can be a lot faster than waiting for an NHS referral, but you can also take the NHS route if you prefer. The talk was very interesting and we all learned a lot.
Our next meeting is on Monday 19 October at 7pm in the upstairs function room at the Parkway Tavern, next to Bristol Parkway station, when we'll be having a talk on nutrition. Hope you can make it!
