PCOS SUFFERERFrom: ELIZABETH (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 27 Mar 2003 19:07:23 -0600 (CST)
I AM 23 YEARS OLD I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PCOS OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR. I NEVER HAD REGULAR PERIODS AND I AM OVERWEIGHT (345LBS). IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR I HAD SURGERY I HAD ONE OVARY 9cm AND THE OTHER ONE WAS 10cm PLUS I HAD CYSTS ALL OVER THEM. I ALSO HAD ONE CYST 8cm BIG HANGING OFF MY FULLOPIAN TUBE. THE DOCTORS DIDNT KNOW THIS UNTIL HE WENT IN FOR THE SURGERY. I HAD SONOGRAMS AND ALSO CATSCANS THEY DIDNT SHOW HOW BAD THEY REALLY WERE. (DOCTOR TOLD ME HE HAS NEVER SEEN OVARIES OR CYSTS THAT BIG BEFORE. WELL MY WONDERFUL DOCTOR HERE IN KANSAS REMOVED THE CYST AND WEDGE RECEPTED THE OVARIES. ALSO PUT ME ON GLUCAPHAGE AND SINCE I HAVE LOST 60 LBS AND HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS. BUT I TOO HAVE HAD THE MOST TERRIBLE YEAST INFECTIONS EVER, HEADACHES TOO ARE A PROBLEM, AND YES I TOO HAVE THE DARK PATCHES OF SKIN ON MY ARMS, TUMMY AND LEGS. BUT THE PAIN HAS GONE. FOR ONCE IN MY WHOLE LIFE I FEEL IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE I AM NOW 285LBS AND LOSING WEIGHT FAST. SOO FOR THIS I AM HAPPY. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TO SHAVE MY CHIN AND EXPLAIN THE DARK PATCHES I AM NOT IN CONSTANT PAIN. SO I JUST SAY TOO ALL OF YOU DONT GIVE UP THERE IS HOPE FOR ALL OF US.... THANK YOU ALL FOR THE INFO IN THE EMAILS AND GOOD LUCK TOO ALL :-)
