Thanks everyone! Ha! That's funny about Austin Powers! I didn't think of that which surprises me because my Hubby is always quoting that movie!
I read a book that gave me allot of direction and made me realize that I was doing nothing to help my situationg. When I was diagnosed about a year ago, all the Dr. said, who was a Gyno by the way was that Yes, I have PCOS and that I need a BCP and told me to take Chromium to help with my weight problem. I guess I took it that PCOS was no big deal basing it on her attitude. So I didn't give it a whole lot of thought. But have not been feeling well for some time now. I was wondering if my symptoms are related or if I need to get checked out? I've been "blacking out" lately. Like if I'm standing putting make up on or doing dishes or something I get kind of dizzy and it goes black. I don't actually pass out but have a few times. Then my chest feels funny sometimes like maybe heart palpatations but I'm not sure. I'm also tired which sucks because I'm a Mother of two and I have my own cake business that I run out of my home. Which means stress. Lots of stress with Wedding cake orders!
After I read this book, The Savvy Woman's Guide to PCOS by Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. I realized that I've been eating all wrong ,even while I've been following Weight Watchers! And I was not taking any supplements that I need. So my Hubby and I went out and got all the stuff this book said I need. I'm hoping I'll be feeling better soon. I'm wondering what you are taking? What is Metformin? Hoping I am really taking the right stuff and not doing more damage! Has anyone else read this book?
Thanks! A |
