just diagnosed and feels like my faultFrom: Alyssa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 20 May 2003 22:39:05 -0500 (CDT)
I have just been diagnosed with insulin resistance and PCOS. My GYN is great but since my fasting insulin was 116, she was a little nervous about treating me without seeing an endo. I saw my endo today and he made me feel like this was my fault because I am "overweight". I have not been overweight except in the past 2 years. Seems like no matter what I do-how much I exercise or eat right-I keep gaining. When I was married 2 years ago I weighed 130 pounds (am 5'7") and now weigh 165 and have made no major changes in any behavior. Basically, my endo said I just needed to lose weight and exercise more. I started my period when I was 12 and have always had this problem and was not overweight then. I don't understand how he gets this. Is it possible that I have always had this condition but just started with insulin resistance in the last couple of years and this is why the weight gain? I have been sitting here all evening feeling horrible-as if my failure to be able to get pregnant is my fault for not losing the weight now but I don't think this can be right, can it? If anything I am really only 5-10 pounds overwight. If anybody could offer any words of wisdom or encouragement that would be so great. I am in desperate need of someone who has been here. Should I get a second opinion? Thanks so much.
