PCOSFrom: Pamikins (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 16 Mar 2000 12:18:41 -0600 (CST)
After many years of frustration and embarassment I think that I have finally found out what is wrong with me. For most of my menstruating years I have had these symptoms. I have not been formally diagnosed yet. I have my first appointment tomorrow to see if this is the case. The doctor I have been seeing doesn't seemed concerned with this at all as he is not much concerned with my fibromyalgia either. I would like to know what some things some of you ladies out there with this went through just before and after diagnosis. I have been to several doctors throughout my life for this problem. I suffer from heavy irregular bleeding so bad that it literally runs down my legs. I have so much body hair it is embarassing to wear certain clothing styles. I have had a paunch in the middle no matter how little I weigh. I have had doctors to ask me about the excessive body hair before and when I say I have had it all my life that it just got darker with puberty they drop the subject. When I was a teen my doctor suspected ovarian cysts however, my mother was so hung up on my virginity she didn't let the doctor do any exams cause that would damage the hymen and any prospective husband later would not want me if he thought that I wasn't a virgin. So, for all this time I have endured this mess. It has finally gotten so bad that coupled with the fibromyalgia and syncope that I can not stand up when I am having menses. I stay dizzy and light-headed that to get around that I have to hang onto fixtures and furniture to go from room to room. Reading about this last night literally brought tears to my eyes as it did reading on fibromyalgia years ago. I have something to go on as to what is wrong with me. If this is what I have it makes me mad that years ago I could have possibly had it rectified and not have all these maladies from which I now suffer. The menses problems, blood sugar, hair everywhere and so on. Thank you for allowing me to have my input here even if I don't quite yet know if I have PCOS.
