At least you were able to keep your cool thruout this,as I certainly couldn't hold myself back. I know what you mean about making six beds when you get to work and walking miles on the wards. My father in law had passed away shortly before Christmas,and was in the Palliative Care Ward for three months.I visited him daily and got to know the nurses there quite well.It is certainly hard to go and excercise after putting in twelve hour shifts. These nurses were run ragged.I mean they were doing more than their fair share of excercise.Up and down the wards,lifting these heavy patients,not to mention other things.These nurses worked.To me ,that is still excercising and what anon writes is contradicting herslelf,as she says to take steps and park further away and this and that.You are doing excercise.I was told that,basically just lifting your arms above your your head,is a form of exercise,as is standing.They all burn calories. Now,here is another thing. Seems everyone thinks that all of us women have office jobs.Even if that is the case,;what does it have to do with being overweight. I have seen many active women who do not eat alot,they eat healthful and they cannot keep the pounds off.I have a friend who is a vegetarian,and she is extremely obese.She works out faithfully at the gym.I'd imagine she may have pcos,but till I am more informed about it;I won't bring it up,as she was alreayd told she had an underactive thyroid,but she has the loss of hair and hirtuism. Anyways,I think you spoke well from what you had stated. If you can give me any advice on Diabetes Insipidus-I would greatly appreciate it.Apparantly,I had it and it simply cleared on it's own. My Endo won't even go into it with me,as she states that I no longer have it,so what is the purpose of discussing something that has cleared up. I think it should be discussed-after all,it is my body that was virtually peeing out my muscles.I think.Correct me if I am wrong. I haven't got the patients anymore to start searching the web for the info,but was hoping you can give me some insight.I was told the diabetes Insipidus was a rare form of diabetes that was caused from medications.Once taken off the meds for a while,it cleared up on it's own. I was also curious to know if somehow,this is how I progressed now to having IR and pcos or pco..I am not sure.My diagnosis is that of PCOS type syndrome. I would really appreciate any info you can give to me. Most of my cousins are all in the medical profession,but one thing I can tell you-they don't know a darned thing about PCOS. Thanks for your time Lisa,and just let anonymous do her own thing. I don't think we should have to explain our difficulties to her-possibly that is exactly what she wants us to do. Some people seem to thrive on other's misery-and I am sorry to say-that I think that is what she is doing to us. (((god bless you)))
