[...] dramatic when I say that Saturday was one of the worst days I’ve had in awhile. Through all my medical drama this year, I haven’t felt stellar but feel like I’m getting better by the day thanks to various [...]

Oh man! I have had doctors go back and forth about me having PCOS and I know what hell that can be.

I seriously need to clean up my act too so I’m right there with you! Hope things get figured out for you soon. Health issues suck ass.

Tiff – I’m just glad you got checked out and have a path back to feeling better! You’re doing a great job making dietary changes and hitting up the gym (I see you on yelp, gurrrrl).

I’m proud of you for going to the doc. I know it’s such a pain, but it’s great to get checked out. I was feeling weird not so long ago and I finally went to the doc. Turns out I have super low Vitamin D levels. So now I have a supplement and I am taking it from there (I was worried it was a low thyroid issue). I have no doubt you’ll come out on top. You know what you’re doing around the gym and the kitchen. Gawd, the siren song of an after work cocktail is so hard to resist. I’ve been bad about that lately. My pal just gave me her juicer that she wasn’t using, and I am loving it!! Vitamin rush!

Sorry about the crappy news, but like Amy said, at least you know what the problem is and you can start addressing it! I’m with you on the cutting back thing, too, it sucks but it’s worth it if you get positive results!

Definitely meet with the other doctor. I have dealt with PCOS for over 4 years now {longer, that’s just how long I’ve actually had a diagnosis}, so if you need to talk, feel free to e-mail me. I know more than I would ever want to about PCOS.

I’m glad you have some answers! It stinks to know that all those things can be helped by diet and exercise. Why can’t it be super easy?! Kidding. I know you can do this.

Getting some answers is the best thing ever – reading WebMD and freaking out does NOTHING for anyone’s mental state at all. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been off but the best part is, you’re making changes and dealing with things in a calm, calculated manner.

I had to cut back on the booze a) having to get up for work and b) not living near a Trader Joe’s any longer – goodbye, $4 wine! – and I’m sure both are good things. Plus, it means I can REALLY enjoy it at the weekends.

Hope you continue to be well – thinking of you, lady!

Ugh, I’m sorry girl. I used to have high cholesterol. I was able to lower it through eating better and exercise. I’m glad that you have some answers!

Well the good thing is that you at least have answers to why you’ve been feeling “off”. And you’re taking steps to fix it. Most people just ignore it and say “so what pills are you gonna give me?” and call it a day. Sigh.

And to be truthful, when I stopped drinking a glass or two of wine a night, it was the best thing ever. Takes some getting used to, but saving it for the weekends makes it that much more special.
