Lacking Literature

I've been doing more research into PCOS recently, but unfortunately I've found that there is a severe lack of information out there about it. At least as far as literature goes. What I've found is that there's four or five books about PCOS in general and a ton of others that are entirely about dieting with PCOS. But all of the books about it in general say the same things. None of them really help me deal with things on a day to day basis. All they tell me is what doctors say about it.

I want to know more about what other women go through. Did they go through a lot of doctors to get diagnosed? Did they have trouble finding the right combination of medications or do they not take medications at all? Were the reasons they went to the doctor in the first place related to getting pregnant or did they go for different reasons? How have they dealt with the emotional issues they suffer if they don't suffer emotional lows often enough to be described as "depressed"?

These books on PCOS only help with telling me the medical issues that doctors can treat with pills or shots or treatments. What about those things they can't treat? I'm having a bit of an issue right now because my life is in a state of flux as far as people I consider friends go, and where I'll be in the next year or so. It's hard because I don't have anyone here to talk to on a day to day basis who has the same issues to deal with.

Stuck in the Middle

So I'm stuck in the middle of what may turn out to be a messy divorce. My friend and her husband (my boyfriends brother) have recently been having trouble. Mostly because of her. She got it in her head that she doesn't love him and wants a divorce. He's talked her into finishing her schooling (basically till after this semester) before actually divorcing, but she refuses to even try to work it out. And this makes me so mad because I think she's making a huge mistake. Her husband is a great guy and he's bending over backwards trying to find a way to fix things. And she keeps pointing out his 'flaws' to him and saying he refuses to change, well she refuses to change! She refuses to go out and find new friends in a new town. She refuses to go out and join a group where she might meet people. Which in turn makes her miserable, and she gets snippy with him and then he gets snippy right back, which makes her mad and so she goes all bitchy on him.

Ugh, and honestly I want to side with him because I think she's making a mistake and jumping the gun. Oh and did I mention that for the last 4 months he's been in Iraq? So they got married in the summer just before he got shipped out and now she wants a divorce. Somehow I think she's just lonely and misses him.

GRRR! I'm so mad about all this because they're both my friends and I hate seeing them in this kind of place in their lives! I feel bad for her hubby because he's the one getting the short end of the stick with all this, but I don't want to not be friends with her. I care about them both equally but it's hard when you see one hurting the other so much over something that may not even be real but something that only she perceives as real.

And I'm probably not making much sense. I'm frustrated and upset that I'm in the middle of this, but because of my position as a friend to both parties is stretching me a bit thin.
