hi there , my name is Leanne im 33 years old married to dave and have no children/
i was diagnosed with pcos when i was 20 years old. tried various things went on the pill for 7 months to no avail. then i changed my gynae doc, i weigh about 245 lbs too much i know. i ve always battled with my weight,
my gynae bod in 2000 put me on duphaston and clomid and i bevcame pregnant but miscarried at 8 weeks we tried it agaon and with hormone suppesaries and misscarried again at 10 weeks 3rd time we tried without pessaries again and i miscarried at 10 weeks id really had enough of putting my body through this so i stopped treatment. 10 weeks later i developed panic disorder for which i have battled with for nearly 4 years now. tried various meds and now have being med free for nearly a year. I felt i was ready to start seing my gynae doc again for advice he prescribed me metformin for which i took for 3 months but really could not tolorate it, through sickness and diarrharea . for the last 9 months i have suffered with lightheadedness which my psycologist has put down to nervous giddiness (tension) i also have bad headaches at times. Last week i went to see a Ear nose and throat specialist to see iff i had true vertigo and he said no. but said it could be the piturity gland so has referred me to see a endocrinologist ( has anyone ever being to see one of these guys iff so can you tell me what they do ?
he has also advised me to have a CT brain scan for which now im petrified i have a tumour and cannot relax am more anxious now than ive being in a long time.
im at my wits end waitting for someone to help me, i constantly fear the worst and thing i have a brain tumour.

Leanne, and endocrinologist is a doc that knows about hormones.

An endo will know how to treat the pituitary gland. They may do blood work as well.
I'm sorry you have these issues.
Welcome to SC!!!!!!!!
Hi there....I'm so sorry about your losses ((hugs))
I, too, suffered from panic/anxiety attacks as well as depression. My doctor put me on anti-depressants and my husband dragged me to a therapist. Not only did I talk to a therapist, but I was also involved in group therapy for treatment of the panic/axiety attacks. The combination of drugs, therapy, and regular exercise helped me tremendously. I'm no longer taking anti-depressants nor going to therapy but still keeping up with my exercises. The anxiety comes and goes, depending on which problem I'm tackling, but the tools I learned to handle anxiety from the therapy are still helping me. PM me if you need to "talk", okay? Hope you feel better soon!
