Re: heavy period over 6 months and my weight wont move, depressed in PCOS hell!!From: Rebecca (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 27 Mar 2001 18:54:12 -0600 (CST)
Dear Donna, thank you for a reply :) As for when i move to Texas i will be about 2 hours north of Houston in a small town near Lufkin, and yes i have written down who you said i will need to see when i get there...Over the years they have given me SO many meds(is why i use the term lab rat) i honestly do not remember them all, i remember in 1996 i was on 14 pills a day, everything from (hope spelling is correct) estigen,provera shots twice a week, provera oral, more oral contraceptions than i can poke a stick at,and im now at a point where for example my period suddenly stops (which it does when it wants)& i can't make the specialists understand that it may not be the meds that have stopped the bleeding, because as a pattern that is what and has happened uncountable times....they just stop, so when i tell a dr that, they think: "well the meds are working" and a few days later im bleeding again.As for weight loss, i guess everybody is different, i have found that what suits me and my PCOS is a 30-60 mins walk a day, 2 shakes with multi vitamins, then my walk early evening, then my main meal (anything i want)...my gp told me it is best to walk before my main meal and not after because when you exersice youre naturally burning fat/creating muscle and so forth and the body hungers for replacement is why when you exercise you are generally hungry straight afterwards....or i alternate my meals depending on my day, but no matter what i exersice before my dinner time and eat or shake straight after...and its working...about the only thing that is working :) irony At Tue, 27 Mar 2001, Donna wrote: > >At Tue, 27 Mar 2001, Rebecca wrote: >>Rebecca, You poor dear as soon as you get to Texas you need to go to a Reproductive Endocrinologist. That Dr over there sounds like he is to busy trying to be the best Dr that he forgot that you the patient is what makes him the best and in my book he sounds like the worst Dr. Have they ever given you anything to try to stop the bleeding? You are in my thoughts and in my prayers. Keep up the good work (with the weight lose) and don't give up. There are DR out there who care and who know what PCOS is and how to help you. Where in Texas are you moving? I am from South Texas but in Va for now with Hubby in the Navy. Good luck and don't give up. >Love, Donna >>you hear so offen of pcos sufferers with no period....most of the time i >>am just the opposite....since i was 12 i have had the prob of very heavy >>and irregular period that lasts from a half a day to at the moment at >>age 27..a 6 month period, where only now dr's are paying attention to me >>because my iron levels are half what they should be and blood >>transfussion is an ongoing option, as i take weekly visits to my gp for >>iron injections,,,,needless to say from age 12 i have been not only >>neglected but dismissed by the medical community, even as a private and >>public patient...up until xmas 2000 i was seeing the leading >>gynocologist in western sydney...a professor in his field who had me so >>irrate each visit, his understudies who i would see more offen than him, >>one told me after a procedure i had that they are looking for cancer, >>another said i had cysts that needed regular checks, but never have, >>others said i had no left ovary (i have right & left), and the professor >>preaching that if i lose my weight(most i have becuase of the meds that >>over the years fed to me by professionals and by my condition and none >>of which have ever worked)my period will regulate and life will return >>to normalcy..this alone is enough to make you just want to give >>up...even after being told at size 10 i had this exact same problem and >>at now size 26 :( is no different.
