I thought I would post here to ask if anyone has tried inositol powder or tablets to help with PCOS related symptoms?

1 teaspoon of myo-inositol powder - dissolved in water - taken each morning seems to have completely obliterated my intense cravings / constant want to eat. It appeared to take effect the very same day that I started it. Initially I had some stomach upset, usually within 15 minutes of drinking it on an empty stomach. A week later this has settled down. I drink it slowly and have a breakfast such as porridge soon after. The real test will come after I next ovulate - whenever that is. If I still don’t experience any cravings then, I will be truly amazed.

I have also experienced a slight increase in headaches but this could also be due to dehydration. My biggest concern at the moment is hair shedding. I do lose a fair amount of hair but I feel like it may have increased. I can’t be sure if this is linked to the inositol or not but for now I will continue with 1 teaspoon daily and see how it goes.

Frances Tiafoe will now reach world ranking #10 after winning the Stuttgart Open - His first ever grass court final. It was a great match to watch, brilliant shots from both players. The crowd was really behind Struff, obviously. The championship point was fantastic.

I went for a little walk on a stretch of the Oxford Canal in the Cherwell District area today, so I thought I would share a few pictures that I took. It was very peaceful. It makes my day when friendly boaters say hello when passing by.

I don't have a fancy camera or anything but I still like taking some pictures while I'm out. :)

I'm just watching some coverage of Stuttgart and it made me wonder what tournaments everyone else likes to watch. In the past I have only watched Wimbledon but as I've gotten older I enjoy watching a variety of tournaments and slams.

Looking forward to Tsitsipas - Gasquet later!

I have to laugh at myself. When I was a kid I would get annoyed at my mum wanting to watch Wimbledon because it meant missing The Simpsons for two weeks (lol). Now I watch more tennis than she does!

I think there's probably been about 10 flowers in total. It's a shame they don't stay for longer but it's been lovely to see them!
