 Hello, newbie alert
Hi everyone.
My name is Christina 27yrs. I am married to a wonderful man John, and we have a 21month old son Andrew, and we are living in Michigan.
I found this board by doing a search for PCOS
Just recently I was brought to the emergency room because I went unconcious on my hubby. I was slipping into a hypogleicimic coma. I was pumped with sugar water, and had every test under the sun. Finally I was released to try to figure out what is going on with me on my own.
I have been thin all my life. Never had to control what ate until I turned 18. I started having pains in my tummy, and the doctor said I had some cysts, and wanted to look around through an incision in my belly button. I freaked out on that, and stopped going to the doctor.
Over the years I have lived a life of lethargy, abdominal pains, weight gain, a few tag moles, bursting systs that cause a lot of pain, an inability to stretch really w/o pain, insulin resistance, miscarriages, and living with the thought of being a hypochondriac.
Out of desperation I called my doctor to ask her about weight loss medication. I am at an all time high in weight 266, and desperate.
She sent me to this clinic and under the care of a endocrinologist I was diagnosed with PCOS.
He said there were no real tests, but given my history it sounds like PCOS.
The only thing is, I have very normal periods, so it confuses me. Everything I read about PCOS talks about infertility.
Sorry to be so long winded. I just was so happy to see this board, and I hope to learn a lot from you all on how to live with this. There is no cure right? Grrr. Figures.
I am, for now, happy that what is wrong with me has a name, and I am not crazy, or lazy, or glutenous. All these years and nobody has ever mentioned PCOS to me. I feel robbed out of living a normal life. | 
I'm glad you found us, and I hope now that you're know you have PCOS you will slowly find your way back to a semi-normal life.
