Even though these past couple of "PCOS Tuesday" blog post have been draining...I think I cried each and every time I sat down to type...I'm glad I did. If I've helped even one person over these past few weeks then it's been worth.
Okay I thought these week I would end the PCOS Tuesdays with some advise I have for those who find themselves diagnosed with PCOS.
Find a doctor you like...that you're comfortable with. It took me three or four tries but finally I've found a doctor I like who works with me.
Read!!! When I first got diagnosed with PCOS I had no idea what it was....and my doctor was less than helpful. So I started reading...articles on the Internet, blogs, and books. My favorite book (that I recommend to everyone with PCOS) is "The Ultimate PCOS Handbook: Lose Weight, Boost Fertility, Clear Skin and Restore Self-Esteem" by Colette Harris & Theresa Cheung. In fact, I may just take my own advise and reread this great book.
And finally get support. My family....well they try to be supportive but they can't really understand what I'm going through. I've managed to find a couple of local friends with PCOS and talking with them helps. Also there are some great online groups. Try facebook.
Oh, and remember....I'm here for you. If you have any questions...or would just like to talk comment or email me through the blog and I will get back to you.
