I've seen a lot of women with PCOS talking positively about inositol but I have questions before I try it.

From what I understand it helps with insulin resistance?

There are 12 different types but we should be taking the ones that are MYO and DCI?

I have no idea when it comes to supplements. Is there a particular recommended brand?

Is there a certain dosage I should take? A certain time a day? With or without food?

Side effects?

I haven't really been close to anyone that has had terminal cancer. I understand the treatments of radiation and chemotherapy. But when someone is terminal does their body just slowly shut down? Does it specifically matter where the cancer spreads to?

I'm basically trying to understand the end stages of a person's life.

Just to note. I don't have cancer but found out a woman I went to school with, she was 34, recently died from cancer. We drifted apart after we finished school but I have very fond memories of her.

I know that having a bell on a collar for a cat can affect their hearing etc but are bells on toys ok? I just got some new wand attachments and I'm considering removing the bells from them.

Five years ago I moved and no longer have a spare room to do my resin. I really miss doing it. I can't do it inside because I have a cat and the fumes aren't good for me or her.

Does anyone do their resin outside? I considered getting a little pop up tent. I have a small shed i can put pieces in while they set (not big enough for me to sit in).

Anyone else got any inspiring ideas?

I remember when I was younger everyone drank blue WKD. I also haven't seen Dooleys in ages which was like a chocolate liqueur.

I've just picked up doing UV resin again after about 5 years of not doing it.

I have a nail UV lamp but it doesn't seem that powerful.

Any alternatives someone would recommend?

I'm 35 so not at the menopause stage yet but I was wondering what happens with PCOS when you are going through the menopause and after it?

I've suffered with anxiety and bouts of depression since I was a teenager and I'm positive it links to my PCOS (20% of women with PCOS are more likely to have it).

I've been on setraline also known as Zoloft (150mg) for a couple of years now and before that I was on citalopram.

However my anxiety is taking on physical symptoms (tight chest, stomach pain, fluttering heart) in the evenings and at night and i don't think the setraline is the right choice for me anymore.

Has anyone had any success with other SSRIs? I know everyone is different but before I talk to my doctor I'd like to have an idea.

I was diagnosed at 19, now 35. I have all the usual issues, irregular periods, body hair etc but my biggest issue is constantly feeling exhausted. I've been on holiday for 4 weeks (teacher) and i feel no more rested.

I essentially live on caffiene but that then has a knock on effect for my anxiety even though I'm on meds for it.

I don't know whether to reach out to my doctors because I'm not aware of anything they can do?

Anyone had any success with fighting the fatigue?

For reference I'm a 40E in bra size but I really hate underwire bras. Has anyone found any that are supportive for larger boobs?

I've seen a lot with front closure zips, are they better?

Any brand or shop recommendations?

Our exam results come out next week (Scotland) and every single year I dread it. I've been teaching for 13 years so I feel like i should be used to it.

This year I had a particularly unmotivated group of senior students and I swear their laziness was contagious. There were only 11 in the group and I think out of that 4 were motivated to do well.

Does anyone else get results anxiety? I know I'm not going to be able to relax until Tuesday is over and I'll spend most of the day analysing the results.

I know I did what I could but I still feel like it wasn't enough.
