Re: My Two Cents on Symptoms (a little long =)From: Alicia (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 27 Mar 2001 10:24:01 -0600 (CST)
I disagree with your position. Shedding light on the complex ways an endocrine disorder affects a female body by using the women who respond on this board as sounding boards is an entirely valid way of beginning to understand this disease. I don't want to see us approach our bodies and the medical community from a point of fear. Yes, of course there will be physicians who want to dismiss our symptoms. There may also be a physician who choses to think outside of the typical realm associated with PCOS. This is the physician we should be aspiring to help. One who might even take the time to read this board and see an "ah-ha!" Maybe he or she wouldn't have put the two symptoms together and when they see that several women respond that they do, and there is the breakthrough. I am not willing to give up that chance just because I'm afraid some lousy and lazy doctor chooses to condescend instead of understand. There is no harm in exposings ourselves and our symptoms to find the truth and a cure. But there is harm in holding back and bringing ourselves down to the level of an uncaring and unenlightened doctor.
