I was diagnosed 5 years ago, when we were trying to have kids, and I remember that stage of "this is all crap and I hate it so I'm going to sit over here and cry" so very, very well. It goes in cycles for me, depending on how well my symptoms are being managed, and, honestly, how bad my baby fever is at that point. Right now, I'm in as positive of a place as someone can be about having a punk uterus and hormones.
I wish your doctor was more open to you trying different meds. Everyone is different. Glucophage works well for some, while others have better results with metformin.
Diet definitely helped with the acne. I've noticed that if I eat too many processed foods, my break outs are way, way worse. I've been somewhat lucky with the facial hair, since I'm a red head. It's there, but usually too light to notice. My tweezers and I have a very close bond, though, because sometimes I get crazy dark wiry hairs growing every which way. I wish I had some advice on this, because I know that the plucking/shaving/waxing cycle gets really, really old.
My biggest dislike is skin tags. I get crazy skin tags all over the place and it grosses me out.
