I too was dx young at 13 due to not having regular af and very painful.
I was started on metformin but it was still in a trial stage in the US at that time and became very ill from it.
I have been on and off it for years, we have a love hate relationship. I am not currently taking it and got a BFP (i know that is not what you are looking for right now)
The best way to manange (if you can) is with diet, the metformin really does help with teh weight gain which has a roll on effect with the other symptoms.
I have noticed that since becoming pg and not taking my metformin i have got more hair in places it has not been before! (namely my chin)
