No cysts + q. about chromiumFrom: Rae (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 30 May 2000 16:58:12 -0500 (CDT)
I just got back from having an ultrasound done, where they said they were ruling out cysts on the ovaries. They said they didn't see any at all. I guess that's a good thing, and I know I shouldn't be disappointed, but it makes me worry that my doctor will say that I can't possibly have PCOS if I have no cysts (unless my bloodwork comes back off the wall). I just feel like it's been such a struggle to get anyone to listen that something not so black and white will just make the struggle worse. I'm also wondering if I'm so desperate to find out what is wrong with me that I've latched onto PCOS because I have the symptoms. Maybe it IS something else? Sometimes I wonder if I don't have a disease. If I'm fat I should eat less, if I'm tired, I should exercise more, if I'm hypoglycemic, I shouldn't eat sugar anyway, if I'm hairy, well, some women are, if I don't have periods, well that happens to some women too. It's so tempting to just give up and try to accept that this is how i am instead of finding a medical explanation. (but that sounds dangerous, and i'm worried that my symptoms will get progressively worse). I'm going to take Kay's advice when I go in to see my Dr. next and ask for an IGTT "for my own peace of mind". Since I have no diagnosis, about the only thing I can do is eat different, exercise, and take chromium. Will the chromium affect the IGTT? Should I not take the supplement until I have the test? If I have IR I don't want to skew the results. Thanks. I'm trying to stay optimistic. --rae
