Re: Losing 100 lbs. with PCOSFrom: Jennifer (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 31 Jul 2003 14:45:52 -0500 (CDT)
Hi everyone, I have known for a long time that I was not the same as my friends and luckily I have recently realised why ~ I'm part of the wonderful world of PCOS !!!! I'm 24 and was diagnosed this month after finally getting a fantastic GP. FOR YEARS my GP's have been telling me that it's just 'growing pains' but I insisted that was impossible because I had finished puberty and stopped growming by the age of 14 but they wouldn't listen(I still look the same now only a bit fatter !!! ha ha) Anyway, after my diagnosis I was relieved that I would finally get some treatment ( having a five o'clock shadow does nothing for my dating skills!) so I relaxed until I could see the specialist. A week later I was in Accident and Emergency with aortal fibrilation. My heartrate was shooting up and down like it was on a racetrack! So I spent a few days in hospital playing etch-a-sketch with the heart monitor and they put me on beta blockers and sent me home. My heart has now settled down but I can't get any treatment for my PCOS until I've sorted the stuff out with the cardiologist. I'm so bugged , I can't get any advice on my diet or anything because I can't have an appointment with the endocrinologist because there's no point! Anyway, I would realy appreciate any info people can send to me. I would especially like diet advice and complimentary medicines & vitamins I can quiz my doc about. jenn20_uk@hotmail.com Thanks for reading this love jen x
