Hello all I just joined tonight. It started last year. I had been on Depo shots for 5 years and started getting migraines about 2 weeks after getting the shot. Last ER Dr. told me to get off the shots. I switched to a new Dr. which I love. He said that I have PCOS. I told him that I haven't had my period since way back when I started the shot. He gave me meds to take when I get hit by a migraine and Glucoflage 500mg once a day. He also wants me on a low carb diet and start exercising. I've already lost 6 lbs and have stopped drinking soft drinks and switched to green tea and flavored water.
I don't want children. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. They are like my children. My new Dr. also did exrays and found that I have arthiritis in my lower back. The past few weeks my hips and legs have been hurting. I thought it was the weather. He checked my cholesterol and testosterone (sorry bad speller). Borderline high on cholesterol and slightly high on Testosterone. Should I talk to him about raising my Glucoflage up to 500 2x a day. I see that most people are on that dose. I want to loose the weight. I've been big all my light and always hard to loose it. I even thought about weightloss surgery once. I'm 5'6" and 296lbs. I would love to get down to about 170 or so. I watch what I eat and not a big eater. Lean meats and lots of fish.
