PCOS ( polycystic ovarian syndrome)
is defined as “A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.”
And causes symptoms such as irregular periods . Irregular hair growth . Issues with fertility, acne , and obesity.
has been a suspect on the list of “ What is wrong with Megan “ for years because of my strong family history of it , and the fact since the age of 14 I have had had every single symptom .
But one .
And with the unstoppable edema I’ve been having ( to a point I was gaining 10 pounds of fluids every 2 weeks )
My pcp decided to try
Me out on Metformin .
And I don’t think it’s helped the edema ( I can fit into sneakers now so MAYBE it’s helped .. )
BUTTT, it’s improved my brain fog and epilepsy symptoms . One of my BIGGEST seizure triggers is low blood sugar , and as you all know my sugars will just dip into the 40s and 50s .
When that starts to happen ( which would be pretty regular )
I’d get dizzy . Lightheaded, Nauseous . My vision would go spotted / funky ( which are all symptoms I have and I’m about to have a seizure)
And I can think of 2 times that has happened during the 2 weeks I’ve been on metformin !
My mom has wanted me to be on it for YEARS but no one would take our thoughts on it seriously becuase without prednisone I’ve Always been naturally thin.
But now im on it and things are improving What a win !!!
Do you have PCOS?
How long did it take you to get a diagnosis?

Today was a decent day especially after yesterday. Yesterday I got in a huge argument with hubby and my daughter got mad at me for laying some truth in her that she very much needed.
Today I have been just trying to take care of me the best way I know how because tomorrow it is back to work.
I have been short of breath all day, a mix between allergies and my normal breathing issues. But, it is getting better.
I have stopped eating sugar flour and wheat to try and improve my health and I can feel a difference. Now I just have to figure out a way to get in some exercise. #Migraine #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Sarcoidosis #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ADHD #Depression #Anxiety

I absolutely CANNOT concentrate on something when other stuff is going on. Including someone talking to me when the TV is on.
Tonight my husband said either he needs to have my hearing tested or turn the TV off. So I said, ‘Turn the TV off.’ He was like, ‘I don’t think so’. Then I told him AGAIN that my hearing isnt the problem. He says, ‘Either it is your hearing or you just ignore me all the time.’ What the Hell?!? I have tried to get him to understand AuDHD but he refuses. He won’t read about it or anything.
Just so you all know my husband isnt always like this. Usually we get along great. We have known each other for 35 years and been married for two. He is a great man just stubborn as hell and refuses to learn. I do love him with all of my heart. That is why I am posting this.
We are going to be together forever so does anyone have any advice?

The short summary is, January 19th I got choked on food and I ended up getting dysphagia from it and couldn’t swallow anything for weeks. I ate pudding and apple sauce, eventually I ended up passing out February 2nd, my first time ever passing out. They said it was just panic attacks and syncope and not a issue, so they sent me home but my blood pressure was terrible my boyfriend was leaving to go to bootcamp too so that was stress added onto it. February 20th around that I had a doctor appointment with a gynecologist and she told me my iron was low and my b12 was high which made no sense cause I wasn’t eating but 100-200 calories a day if that. But I eventually was able to eat, and slowly felt kind of better but not fully. I had issues of being fatigued, and tired even though I got 8 hours of sleep. It’s tmi but my last cycle was watery and light and wasn’t normal compared to how they usually are. I felt terrible on it, short of breath, weak, fatigued, blurry vision, it was bad. However I’ve had issues when I’m eating, everything will start going black and I struggle to breathe and it feels like my heart stops for a second, then it starts racing and I panic, which makes it worse, I feel like I’m going to pass out during that, my head feels weird too. That’s what happened again earlier today, but yesterday at work I was standing there ringing up a customer and everything started going black and I almost passed out then too. I’m just scared. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. I was told I have insulin resistance PCOS and may be iron deficient from my doctor and maybe anemic, I’m waiting on blood results to come back but is this a blood sugar issue or is it something else. Please help.#Anemia #anemic #iron #IronDeficiency #insulin #PCOS #irondeficient #help #question
