To Everyone....LONGFrom: Kay (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 20 Jul 2000 20:05:18 -0500 (CDT)
Ladies, After all these months of reading about PCOS, matching MOST symptoms, and just "knowing" this finally had to be the answer, I'm back at square 1. My doc just called and said that all of my hormone tests were in the normal range and my insulin was 8.7. My glucose was also normal 80 fasting and only 100 at 2hr. post-prandial. I don't have PCOS. My doc wants me to take the spiro to try to help with the hair and see him in a month. On the one hand I am REJOICING! So glad not to have it! But on the other hand, I don't know what is wrong with me. I still weigh 310 lbs. without overeating and never lose weight on normal diet programs. I still have hair on my chin and neck, arms, and thighs, and hiney. I still only get a period once every 45 days or so. I've still miscarried 3 X. I still have hypoglycemic attacks almost regularly. I still am losing my hair on my head at record rates. I still have MAJOR fatigue. So if it's not PCOS and all of the "adrenal" tests, etc. are normal...could it be something else?! I'm now exploring the possibility of Wilson's Syndrome (http://www.wilsonssyndrome.com), and if anyone has any ideas of what else it could be that is causing these symptoms, I'm open to suggestions. If nothing else good has come out of my research and testing, I know that my sister will now seek help. She definitely has PCOS--fasting insulin was 55 and other levels were whacky too. My girl cousins are being tested and have all shown a strong possibility toward PCOS. I guess I'm still thankful that I've travelled this road, "met" all of you wonderful ladies, and have a wealth of info on PCOS to pass on. I just wish I had the answer for me in all of this too. The only explanation I have right now (some may have trouble believing this, some may not) is that I have been actively seeking God for healing in my body, since I knew there was a problem. I believe there is a strong likelihood that healing has occurred, but that the symptoms in my body haven't lined up with that reality yet! My hope is in my Lord Jesus Christ! I will keep all of you in my prayers. I'll check in from time to time (maybe every day, I'm addicted to you as friends, not just PCOSers). :o)Kay
