Weight loss, leg numbness, pain, and frustrationFrom: Danielle (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Aug 31 21:16:51 2004
My name is Danielle and I recently turned 21. In March of this year I was diagnosed with stage 3 endo and polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have tried various drugs to cope with the endo and pcos but nothing seems to be working. Doc. told me that my condition is at the point that if I do have children now would be the time and one would be a miricle. I can't sleep, I have no appitite and I am losing a lot of weight. My legs go numb and no matter what I can't seem to stop bleeding for more than a week. I am currently taking Ortho Micronor and I am doing better with it than with any of the other drugs. I've lost close to 40lbs since March and I was thin then. Now I am 5'11 and a size 1-2. I feel like a skeleton. I am so frustrated, my self esteem suffers, my school work suffers (I am a full time student @ a local university), I am always tierd, except at night, I work two jobs and I am getting ready to start a CNA class and move into an new apartment. My schedule isn't that bad but I just can't get enough sleep, most nights it's not the pain (that's during the day) I physically can't fall asleep. Doc wanted to put me on some sleeping pills (Ambien) to see if that would help but I'm not sure I want to take them. Does anyone have any solutions? "If what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, I should be superwoman by now".
