Thanks, Lou!
I actually had my follow-up appointment last week. My doctor put me on Yasmin, which I cannot start taking for another three weeks or so. He did some more blood tests as well for diabetes, cholesterol, triglycerides (I think) and cortisol. I will get the results on Thursday and have another appointment on Friday.
In the first set of tests, I had raised cortisol levels, and I reckon that they may be high in this recent test. This would mean that I probably have Cushing's syndrome and would have to go to an endocrinologist.
As I am reading about people's random symptoms on here, I am finding it very reassuring. It seems like all of these conditions that seem unrelated all tie back into PCOS and, surprisingly, anemia, which a fair number of us seem to have.
Anyway, thanks for your response!
PS What kind of physician is Dr. Talbot? I am seeing a GP at the Carlton Clinic right now, and I have been extremely impressed based on my few appointments and several returned phone calls. |
