Ok well long story short about 5 years ago i was diagnosed with PCOS, placed on Metformin and lost about 50 pounds. 2 years ago my Dr. took me off the Metformin and told me to keep my weight off and I shouuld be fine. Well in the two years since then I have moved out of state and have had to find another GYN that was experienced in PCOS. I had my yearly last year with one that was recommended to me and she was knowledgeable about PCOS and asked why I stopped the Metformin? I told her what my other GYN said and she said "well I guess if it works for you." Now I was not trying to get pregnant or anything just trying to stay healthy and keep the pain to a minimum on a monthly basis and keep fit. Well I have an appointment tomorrow with my new GYN because my hormones are all over the place, I am right back to the weight I was BEFORE the Metformin, my facial hair is not being controlled by the Vaniqua and my moods are horrible!!!! I know that I need to get back on the Metformin and wish I had never stopped taking it because I am not looking forward to the first few weeks of getting used to it again. ON top of that I have been dieting like a mad woman the past month and just keep seeing the scale go up after it has gone down. It is like one big roller coaster ride. I think I am losing and then the next day I gain. I have also been sick with that aweful flu and after 3 weeks am starting to feel up to excercising again.
Ok ladies I am sorry about the venting. I am jsut really frustrated with this whole PCOS thing. I am thankful that I was able to conceive and give birth to two wonderful children (of course now they are teenageers and I have keep reminding myself that they ARE a miracle
)
I hope that tomorrow's appointment will help with some of this and I can get back to where I feel comfortable again....
Thanks for letting me vent
Arghhh... Right Back Where I started
