PCOS anyone?

My week began at 3 a.m. when I felt a rumbling in my tummy. Projectile vomitting to follow. Even woke up the deaf hubby. True love is holding your partner's hair while she vomits on everything (including you) in a 6 foot diameter. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! How sweet!

Then, I had an appointment with the endocrinologist (that I've had since November!!!) this morning. I was afraid of never getting in, so I sucked it up and went to the doc appointment. The doc was very nice, a lady. She did a very complete exam and spent a good hour and a half talking to me. She clinically diagnosed me with PCOS, with labs to follow. One set of lab tests are regular blood tests, another is a set of fasting blood tests. Yet another one is a lovely urine colletion for 24 hours (that needs to be kept in a cooler with ice). The last test involves taking a couple of steroids at night and getting more blood draws the following morning before food. Of course, the doc wanted to know my reproductive wishes because that will determine the treatment apparently. When I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and found out about the genetic component, I had decided not to have biological children. So, bring on the foster kids!!! :)

Okay, stomach bug is still active, so more of my very personal info to be displayed on this crazy contraption called the internet. Have a lovely day! Feel free to email me with your dealings with PCOS if you so desire. Beth
