Sorry I cut that short (or long!) my comp nearly stalled so I had to just send through what I'd done bc was NOT going to write it all again!!!
I was dx in about 2001.
Ovaries have cysts, free t up, SHBG down, progesterone off, LH down, insulin and sugar normal at fasting level, thalassaemia minor (anaemic), weight in 1997 was 63.65kg (130lbs), 1999 -70kg (143lbs), 2001 - 78kg (160lbs), 2002 - 72kg (147lbs bc of exercise and no chocs), presently 87kg (175lbs).
Longest stint doing IR and cardio: 2-3 weeks.
Longest stint doing nothing and eating badly: 4-5 months.
You can probably see why I'm in the situation I'm in. My problem is emotional. I eat when I feel trapped, and I feel trapped right now. Until I move out I can see no relief from my pcos problems. And I don't know when that will be. I'm out of hope and motivation, sometimes I can't even be bothered trying to imagine what I'd LIKE my future to be. Until I get my personal problems sorted out, my health doesn't stand a chance. I've tried about nearly a dozen times and my weight has been yo-yoing all this time: down 5 pounds, up 5 pounds, down 4 pounds, up 5 pounds, down 2 pounds, up 7 pounds, down 1 pound, up 10 pounds. It's so stupid wasting energy on it anymore. At least until I am a free person and have my own life. Sorry for prattling on. I really just need to tell it all to someone. This place is the only one where ppl understand me. Any suggestions esp from ppl who have had restrictive parents, I would love to hear them. My parents are too stuck in the past and in tradition. Well, thanks for listening.
