I saw my first doctor since I started to suspect that I have PCOS (had many symptoms and been complaining about them all for 4 years now), and I gotta tell yah, it was interesting. I told him all my symptoms, and explained how I was having a hard time losing weight, no matter what I do (except Atkins, which ends up making me really ill due to my galbladder). You know what he told me? Yes, thats right, NOTHING! He tossed me a box of "Meridia" and told me to take the pills and call their 1-800 number. Looks like I will be trying for yet another doctor! I don't know why this has to be so hard, today I was helping a customer and she informed me that I should get my thyroid tested, and told me a specific test to get my doctor to do, and that I should also get checked for PCOS. And this is a woman who spent maybe an hour with me! What do I do? Someone I came across told me to keep trying doctors, but that in the mean time I should try the South Beach diet. Any other advice? It doesn't look like I'm going to be finding a good doctor anytime soon, but I will keep trying!
Why are some doctors so dumb?
. They all kept giving me provera to get my tom started and that was that. Then i moved to bemidji mn which doesnt have as much as st paul mn and the doc there had just got back from a confrence or something which they discussed pcos!! I was so lucky and after all the test i was d/x with what else PCOS! I know its frusterating but you will get a doc to take notice. Just flip through em. I know we shouldnt have to but it happens.
