Endo called on the phone today, hyst. decision made: NO (Wordy but writing as if you were there)From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 16 May 2003 21:12:20 -0500 (CDT)
Ok, he called, anybody following what's going on w/me this past week and wants to know, this is how it went...It happened earlier today but I've been processing a lot of it and can finally collect my thoughts and relate it properly. Called 9:30 A.M., office lady talked to me (first time I called any Dr and they actually answered the phone at actual office OPENING time instead of service telling you to call back later..gotta love this office hehe). She was so patient and kind, took an actual good phone message rather than rushing me, and said he'd call back after he was done w/the day's pts. Worked for me, went about my day and he called at 1:30 on the nose First thing he asked..he is a very kind, reserved man.. "Dr so-and-so is offering you a hyst?" I said no, the new guy, and told him like I told you I would, "He's saying it's gonna be a cure-all and that's scaring me, you are the only one I trust 100%." He chuckled, I guess modestly, and said look, I want you to have a 2nd opinion...because I am not so sure that this is the route you want to go How CAREFULLY he chose his words because he wouldn't just say NO!! RUN!! RUN FAST!! hehe..but you could hear the concern, he continued reiterating my age (32) I said no more kids and he basically said you know that, and I know that..but you could tell the GYN (since I told Endo that his opinion is what counted and even though he doesn't consult GYNwise that I defer to him, that if in any way shape or form if the PCOS is gonna be aggravated by this, then I want no part of a hyst).. he says, you could tell him that you're still thinking about it. In other words he was giving me a tactful and quiet, like my Endo's own personal way, to tell GYN no, with a good enough reason so as not to go nose to nose and argue (as I am prone to do, with my mood swings) He told me as all of you did that it wouldn't cure the PCOS and seemed a little concerned that I was told it would.. The only time his tone changed in the conversation was when he said.. "Well, I don't know what this Dr *name* meant by a cure, but I don't think putting you into menopause now is any type of cure, really..I worry about you at 50 with osteoporosis, and other problems, it seems a long time off but you have to look at the whole picture" He's rational and logical..a real fatherly type, actually makes you feel and know that he cares..which is something I really needed, I guess, from not only a Dr. but a man right now (Husband is tired of PCOS "ruling our lives") He reduced my Spiro by half, 50mg 2x/day.. but, uh.... Now..thinking about all of this, tonight...biting my nails thinking..well, maybe I have caused my own excessive bleeding?? *Glances around*...it's supposed to have been 100mg 2x/day but more often than not I take all my pills at once, so I remember better, I gag on the pills..so rather than say 1 in the morning and 1 at night, I've been taking them together. He is saying to cut the spiro in half physically meaning the tablet..but I'm trying to just space the doses..had 1 at 10am and 1 about 10 mins ago... Well for those of you who've read this far..thank you so much for caring. Maybe the bleeding will let up, when I go see GYN on the 20th, I can now say no thank you to the hyst....actually "Not right now thank you" and get my pap, make sure the cervix is still ok after last year's surgery..and start taking my life back, Endo sees me July 11th so hopefully I'll have my cycle back in whack Thank you for letting me get this out.
