Medical Update

Well, I promised I'd spend more time talking about my new medical discovery, how I'm dealing with it and how we're changing each other.

I've been on the new level of Synthroid and Metformin for about 2 months now. I feel much better and, combined with a slightly better eating habit, I've lost about 8 lbs in the last 4 weeks. You always hear that exercise is good for you, well, with Hash & PCOS it's really encouraged. The good news is that our gym finally opened. Mom, Donald & I went the first Saturday it was opened and really liked it. For the past 2 weeks, April & I have gotten into a routine where we go 2 nights a week and we're alternating a day on the weekend. We "meet" at the elliptical at 7:00 or 7:30, get our cardio in and then I usually move on to the bike followed by weights. April pretty much tuckers out after an hour on th elliptical and who wouldn't. The funny part is that from our perch in the cardio "division" we can see over into the weight area and watch her husband Dan. Sometimes he gets so into a zone it's like no one is there. Tonight I showed him the beginner room where I do my circuit of weights and he was pretty impressed. Tomorrow's another weigh in and I'm not sure how I'm doing because I don't really feel lighter but........ I am fitting into pants that I already own which are a size smaller. So I guess that is good news!!

Remember folks, if you're not getting the answer you want from your doctor, check the online directory, there's plenty out there. Don't give up the fight, your answer IS out there.
