Well I can certainly understand the whole "its up to the individual to get her stuff together", but I wish it were easier to find a Dr that knows about PCOS and not just the text book crap that doesn't get anywhere (just yet). I feel, and maybe this is my own situation, that there is something causing me to be over weight. Not my habits or food (as much, although they can stand to improve) but something outside of the norm, and the Drs are doing nothing but telling me to loose the weight, which I already know, because nothing else is going to do anything. I just feel that coming at the whole thing from a different angle would be a more successful approach.
I have not been tested yet for Diabetes. I've got the day off coming up with another Dr's apt (unrelated) an he's right next to my regular fam Dr. I think I might kill two birds with 1 day and get myself in there.
That's something else, I feel the OB that I went to doesn't know most of just the basics of PCOS cause he didn't even think to ask me about possible diabetes testing or results that i might have gotten before. Now I find that its actually a very common thing to have that checked out and treated. It never even came up in my 2 apts with my OB. So I wonder how much he really knows, or is he just "reading a text book script" somewhere?
I wish I had learned about that possibility first so I could have asked and gotten it done by now. As it happened I learned about it the very next day, and smacked my forehead. lol After all the reading I've done, It never registered in my head to worry about diabetes. Oh well. I've gone this long now without knows, what's another few weeks till my next apt? |
