You get a period! After a few months of not having one, 2
weeks after my diagnosis, Aunt Flo has come to town. And boy is she in a bad
mood!! Not really going to speak in great deal about this, but I'm sure anyone with dodgy ovaries will agree that these visits make themselves....known.....
I’m not sure where this has come from, it’s possible that by
gradually weaning myself onto the low GI diet I‘m already regulating my body
somewhat. It could also be just a sorry coincidence. It would be interesting to
know whether I ovulated this month (Aunt Flo can come even though there isn’t
an egg, don’t ya know.) This may also be what the "large cyst" on my left ovary was. Maybe a maturing egg that was actually released. Whatever it was, I'm glad it'll be gone in 4-6 days time!!
Have been feeling less inspired since my visit to the dud
doctor. There has been a lot of support on my blog & my twitter which is so
lovely to read. I’ve booked an appointment with another GP (that’ll be the 3rd
GP in 6 months, I’m a medical whore). A lovely lady suggested getting a test to
see if I am insulin resistant. I guess this is all about my glucose levels,
which is probably why the low GI diet is helpful too. So I’ll get this test,
see the nice doctor and HOPE for some more help.
If this fails, I’ll try again. The worst part about this is
having to see the horrible receptionists. Why do they always stare like they
are judging you? Clipping around like a horse in their stupid heels. Our
receptionists are the devil spawn. I’m sure there are lovely doctor’s
receptionists out there. I feel so uncomfortable signing in with their eyes burning
into the back of my neck like I’m wasting their time. I’m paying ya bills
wimmin!!
My abdominal pain is getting worse, or maybe I’m noticing it
more. Either way, I can’t live with it much longer!
Another friend of mine has been inspired by this blog to go to the doctors and get some help. She's had a blood test for PCOs and it looks likely that she has been suffering in silence too.
Lesson we've learnt..
Getting knocked down 7 times means you pick yourself up 8 times.
Receptionists are usually dumb.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly though, when I was diagnosed with huge a fibroid, pre babies, I was also found to be type 2 diabetic.
After drug treatment, and surgery, they thought I might not conceive. But I did have 2 children, though had be on diabetic medication through both pregnancies.
There is definitely some link between gynae problems and upset glucose levels!
I am fine now. I do a fair bit of physical activity and eat pretty low GI food.
Do you think stress adds to the problem? You are probably a bit stressed anyway, but I feel it can be a contributory factor. The body has a fine balance.
But you are taking control of your situation! X
