I have been thinking about the time since I had been diagnosed and it really makes me angry. First when I started having symptoms in my twenties my doctor couldn't tell me what was happening or seemed too worried. She even told me some women just don't have periods. Yea but that isn't healthy!!! Then finally years later an endocronologist diagnosis me with PCOS but that was it. The I went to another one a few years ago who confirmed it and put me on medication and told me to lose weight. No one told me all the more serious things this could lead to. I had to discover that on my own.

I remarried this year and when I first told my husband he didn't even read the info about it I gave him. Then I tell him more and told him about a great website that I found and what they say that could really help me. He says ok we will do it,etc to get you healthy. But then he comes home one night and says he had talked to a woman at work and she says "oh a lot of women have PCOS and it isn't that big of a deal" he says oh that is treatable. Anyone who says it isn't a big deal obviously doesn't know anything about it or how horrible it can make your life depending on the amount of symptoms you have. It can also lead to some life threatening diseases. Anyway I felt like he just kind of blew it off because some woman at work said......


ok that is my venting for today

I am not too good at keeping up with my posting. Not a lot to post though! I am enjoying trying to find organic alternatives to the things I currently use not only food but make up, cleaning supplies,etc. I have learned a lot!
I started taking a body conditioning class this week. i am going to start with twice per week and work my way up to four. I am a little sore today! But it is a good thing! I also have been drinking organic apple cider vinegar for the past two weeks. There were a lot of things that is supposed to help with.

Over the weekend Dha nd I talked about having a baby. We aren't preventing it but obviously PCOS is in control. So, now I guess I need to get busy with getting my inflammation under control because I do not want to use fertility drugs. When I got pregnant with my daughter who is now seven I had lost 40 pounds and was eating better. So I guess it is time to buckel down and do it! I was hoping to take the EPC test but since that isn't an option then I will have to try the elimination diet. The hardest part is getting my mind ready! I keep telling myself I can't do it therefore I can't. So now I must convince myself that I can and will do it!
