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
