Alright girls -- here it is. Almost 2 years ago I was thought to have PCOS -- nothing done about it.
So I got refered to a different doctor and she done a good bit of blood work and even sent me for an ultrasound. I thought this was great!
Well I went back today to get the results from everything and well here is how all of that went --
ALL of my lab work was fine. How in the heck is that even right? Everything was PERFECT!
Well then she had to go and view my ultrasound and guess what it showed -- NOTHING. No cysts yet. Everything looked great.
So I guess your wondering why I am pissed and cried all day. My blood pressure had been high and my fasting blood sugar was 177. So now after I'm only 18 and never have I taken regular meds -- I'm on two. And I have to check my blood sugar fasting everyday and record it for three weeks and then return to see her. I'm soo confused. At least I was semi prepared. At first she was going to only give me the spiro and let me take that for 2 weeks and see if things changed and then she glanced back at my D-stick from last visit. She asked if it was fasting or not and I was like um yeah -- why? She was like oh well it's kinda high there. Have you ate today? I was like uuum no I have a lunch date with my mom after this. So she had them recheck it and it was 177. She was gonna give me provera to take for 5 days and then she was like oh well if you take the Spiro and Met for a little bit it's gonna give you AF.
So now here is the end -- Im' 18 (almost 19) I have fluid on my ankles, HTN, and high insulin levels. I asked her about another thing my other dr had dx me with. Hyperinsulinism. She said that it's what you experience before you have an issue with hyperglycemia. She told me ( and was being really nice about it) that dropping a few pounds would help. I'm working on that. Really working hard.
Girls -- I read here all the time at everything and have learned so much and now *I* feel soo stupid and so lost. What is the deal? Why me? I honestly sat in my car and cried for like 20 minutes before I could meet SO and mom for lunch. I feel like somewhere in the past I have done something and this is the cause of it and it's all my fault. I appologized to Amanda for all of this as I feel like a faliure. Does anyone have any answers?
If you've made it this far -- thanks for reading!!
