Well I didn't weigh in this weekend as I am adjusting to my new medicines. I have been extremely tired and still trying to understand why one doctor can find what's wrong with me but others can't. So just a little history over the past months/year. (maybe even longer)
I have been struggling with my blood pressure being high so I decided to start seeing a doctor through Mercy Clinics because I was not feeling the greatest about the doctor here in Norwalk. He immediately started me back on my thyroid medicine and then said we would monitor my blood pressure before deciding if I needed meds. After monitoring for awhile he decided to put me on a blood pressure/diuretic medicine for 6 months. In between these months I decided I better go back to my kitty (hehe) doctor since I had an abnormal pap the last time I was in. (years ago) I told her everything that had been going on so she scheduled an ultrasound and a pelvic ultrasound. Nothing much showed here. So I went for another check up with my regular doctor on Friday and told him that I was still having horrible pains, I have never had a regular period since I had my children but the doctors never really said anything about this, I obviously have struggled with my weight, and my list goes on. So the end of the story is that I have to stay on my thyroid medicine, he changed my blood pressure medicine and he started me on Metformin which will hopefully help me with my new diagnosis. He said that I have PCOS. You can go to this website if you want to know about PCOS.

With all that said, I am moving forward. Things could be worse. I still have a wonderful family and I have wonderful friends that I know will help me when I am down and I am looking for an online support group to join. I am going to stay motivated to lose more weight and continue to eat healthy. What else can I do?
