Hey,
Im Frankie and im 17 and was diagnosed 4 years ago. I went back to the doctors yesterday to check my pill (was on Dianette... again 2nd chance!). So basically it hasnt worked at all. Im so frustrated, i thought i was dealing with everything so well and now i feel like im back to the start again. My doctor is so nice, which just made it worse - would be much easier if i didnt like her! I hate this ive never said this in 4 years but its so unfair. Im tired of struggling with something that hurts this much.
Plus as well as that my best friend of like 16 years (a guy) has a new girlfriend. Never been a problem before, until now. Im sooo jealous and i hate myself for it! Lol. Been bad two days. Im worried about these feelings for my friend and my crappy doctors advice - loose weight, as if i havent tried!
Result - am on no medication, cant go back for three months and i think i have feelings for my best friend!
Sorry i had to vent, my friends and family dont know what to say to me about the doctors and im to scared to tell anyone about my friend!
Sorry! x
awww sweety...u sound as if u having a really horroble day *HUG*
Sorry to hear what the doctor told u...im new to this so i can't really give u ne encouraging words except hang in there ok.
As for ur best friend...yeah i guess it is weird isn't it and just having to stand by and stifle these new emotions and get on with it...just try to sort it all out for now...ur thoughts and feelings so u can get everything into perspective and then u can go from there.
Thats what we are here for, is for you to vent!! lol, I know I have done my share of that!
I dont know what to tell you because I am kinda going through the same thing my meds. are not working and they keep uping the dosage. I wish their was more that I could say!! Fill free to p.m. me!!
trust me, hateing ur doc doesnt make things any better infact it makes them worse!
i've had 1 doc who looked at me, looked at my ultrasounds looked at my hormone levels and told me i didnt have PCOS, he must have been BLIND! we didnt get along i could have told him more about PCOS before i was even diagnosed!.
then i went to a gyno, here i am thinking this guy must know something instead i sat in the waiting room for hours to go into his office and be told to lose weight, over and over again! (so i can def relate to u there) he then had the hide to get annyoed at me when i wasent loosing enough! that was my breaking point, i ended up in tears he wasent willing to do anything about the facial hair and he could quite clealy see how it affeted me!
i'll deal with the weight, the probabitlity of diabetes etc etc just do something about the hair i begged him!, he didnt listen and i refused to go back!
god this has been a good rant lol!
im 17 as well, and the doctors dont like it when u have an attitude (i think that was my biggest problem! i was moody, un friendly etc because they couldent do anything for me)
i've now found a doc thats allot better, easy to talk to and knows his stuff! which makes things allot easyer to deal with, just knwing he understands and is willing to try anything to improve the situation! so allthough i didnt give u an adive i can relate to u on many levels!
as for the friend thing, is it just a bad thing that you have feelings for him? i say play the waiting game, see how things are in a few days. a few weeks! and then go from there! who knows you might just be feeling protective. the only way to find out is time!
if ya ever wanna chat, you know where i am!
hope your feeling better and sorry about how long this is!
Ok so its been a week (or jus over) and i thought id update you all. Im still a little bummed about what the doctor said but basically live with it, i have done so far so why get worked up now? On the frined side fo things, things are still awkward. His girlfriend obviously has a problem with me and made that quite clear today. But im not going to do anything and risk losing him as a friend, if its meant to be then something will happen. Thank you all for your replies. Frankie x
I also found my doctor to be a little more optimistic than I think she should have been, same with my endo. They act like PCOS is no big deal and can be cured by weight loss and I know that is just their lack of knowledge. I lost (and have since gained back..BAD me!) about 30 lbs last year and my PCOS didn't just check itself out at the door.
As for your friends girlfriend....let her get over herself!!! If she can't accept his friends then what is she doing with him?! And I'd tell her just that if she tried to start anything. And for your feelings for him...well take it from one who knows, don't go after someone who was or is in a relationship, I just got my heart handed back to me doing just that. He told me he was over her, wanted to go out, then after I allowed myself to trust him...he told me he still had feelings for her. So save yourself and just don't!
Good luck, hon!
