Do they really know how much courage it takes us to say "hey wait, i dont wanna hide this anymore, it ISNT normal, i dont like it and i think something is wrong" only to have them say to us, oh its nothing here's some pills (basically get outta my face and come back in a month so i can get more money from you) UGh... good luck Mariela and let me know how it goes! also if you happen to find a really nice dr in the london area who is not a horse's behind.. let me know that too..  |
Maribel,
Still nothing, I'm afraid. I changed GPs and it went from bad to worse. The problem seems to be that I have "regular" cycles (about 32 days long) and that puts them off looking at hormones and other things. This one at least checked my blood glucose levels, which came back normal apparently.
It is really frustrating to hear that everything is okay when the symptoms are there and not going anywhere by the way.
My bf and I are moving south in two weeks' time and I will register with a new GP. So here we go again... I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, I've decided to go the natural way and apart from saw palmetto (helped loads) I'm taking cinnamon and I have noticed a difference in many of my symptoms.
Thanks for the support!
