Getting Serious

Ok, so I always say I want a baby so bad, but yet I am having trouble doing what I need to do. Today I went out and bought a book on PCOS and wow! I mean I knew it caused a few things such as my weight gain and infertility, but I had no idea that it also causes many other things. First, and the most important to me right now, is the inability to loose weight. I have been struggling. Every time I think I am doing good, the scale says I am doing the same as before I started replacing the cookies with carrots so I give in and say forget it. Every thing from depression to anxiety to the feeling of not wanting to be in the same room as another person for no good reason is all linked to PCOS. Now for those who know me, I do not read. I am very slow at reading compared to most so I have only read the introduction and chapter one so far, but I am really glad I bought this book. In a previous post I wrote that I felt alone and that I basically felt trapped, this book has already changed that. It starts with all the basic information but then later, in chapters 6 on, it tells you how to control PCOS in all situations from hair loss to excessive hair and so forth through natural and medical treatments. The first chapter had a few short stories about women, and you could of put my name in their place and it would all be true! The book is called, "A Patient's Guide to PCOS, Understanding and Reversing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" If you or someone you know has PCOS, buy this book. It addresses everything, not just the infertility.
