Actually I think that I was ready to take the you have it cause u are fat junk from the endo because that is what my mother said. That sounds so twisted I know, but my family has a long history of blaming me for my medical issues (10 inch fibroid tumer cased emergency surgery in 1995 and diagnosed with crohns disease in 2000 after being told for a decade there was nothing wrong) and it has created havoc inmy life that goes far beyond my illnesses alone.
When my endo said it, it was a violation I was initially willing to accept because it was familiar. But I know she os wrong. In fact, my general practitioner told me when she diagnosed me that PCOS is the reason I am retaining weight. What I wanted most from my endo was cutting edge advice on how to lose weight inlight of my PCOS. I did not get that.
I could:
A) Just move on realizing that I got my metformin and follow up with my general practitioner. Did I mention that the endo said I should just follow up with my GP rather than book another appt in endo?
B) Fight for my right to another opinion.
I dunno...another opinion on what? Even if I can get an endo to tell me what I already know, where does that leave me? I am getting concrete advice here on these boards. Right now I am thinking just keep taking the Metformin and doing my research.
