Day HUH?

I realize that trying to post everyday just encourages my unrealistic expectation to take flight (at least I think about this blog everyday...does that count?). So instead of just throwing in the towel cause I fucked this up....(just as I fuck my diet up over, and over, and over again), I decided that I am going to post just a few times a week. That's a more realistic expectation to fulfill, and hopefully it will coincide with a realistic weight loss goal.

The last 2 weeks have included a few emergency room visits, a near death aversion for a family member, and bouts of depression that keep me prisoner in the house for days. Without going into details that would probably depress you too, let's just say having Ovarian Cysts SUCKS. I have a constant dull stinging in my lower right abdomen that comes to a screeching crescendo of pain towards the end of each month. I have to say, I have NO IDEA what or how this happened to me. All of my doctor visits, and numerous emergency room trysts have yet to really diagnose what is causing this constant pain. SO AS USUAL, I took matters into my own hands and hit up Barnes and Noble with a vengeance.

Fast forward several books later, I'm pretty sure I have P.C.O.S (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). I picked up a booked titled "A Patient's guide to P.C.O.S", and I really feel that just about everything they describe in the book, describes me. When I say describes me, I mean everything from physical characteristics, to family history, to weight issues, to hormonal imbalances, to emotional issues, and so on and so on. The most interesting part of the whole book is the part that has been most frustrating about this whole P.C.O.S experience. There is no cure, no magic pill, no surgery, no NOTHING that will make this go away. It's actually pretty hard to diagnose because there are so many variables that could cause so many of these symptoms. The one common thread in the entire book is this: Loose weight and your symptoms will go away. I can really go into massive detail about how that works, but then what's the point of reading the book yourself, right? If you have unexplained sharp pains before and during your period each month, go get this book and see if you are lucky enough to qualify to fit the title.
