I was diagnoses with PCOS yesterday and I am not sure what to do.From: Cleo (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 14 Nov 2000 14:31:16 -0600 (CST)
Hello alll, I just received my diagnosis of PCOS from my Dr. and I am scared, confussed and somewhat relieved to finally have a name to associate with my symptoms. I have had irregular cycles since I was 18 (I am 36 now). I have always been somewhat larger than most. I have even been a full figured model. But over then past few years, I noticed that the weight was not evenly distributing. I was no less active than before. I am not diabetic (it stays low), I don't have high blood pressure (it stays low) and I have found out that I am now severly anemic. Where does PCOS come from? Are we genetically pre-disposed to the condition? Is it something I could pass on to a child (if I can ever become pregnant)? I am hoping that someone out there can hekp me get my head together. I can't rely on my family and friends...this is all to new to them. I need to hear from those who live with this disease everyday. My Dr. says that she will do some additional research to help me, but she doesn't have to live with this. She tells me that because I am not a diabetic, the medications like Metformin could cause me more harm than good. Is there someone else out there who has been told this same thing? I hope someone reads this and is willing to reach out to me. I do not know where else to turn.
