My journey with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
After having been 'sporty' & active my entire life and always fit due to it
(that and a positive attitude & great people around me), all of a sudden I began
gaining weight and feeling sick often. At first I thought it was due to having raised my exercise level
so high from Dancesport competition and/or spending less time practicing for
shows & competition and more time traveling, sitting on a plane, to studios as a
visiting coach. But then, before I knew it, I had gained 60lbs! I hadn't really
changed any eating habits, consider myself a healthy eater, and fast food places
turned me off. I was also feeling nauseas all the time--like I had morning sickness
24/7! My energy was down, sometimes feeling non-existent, and it was a fight for me to make it through a day. This
was a new feeling for me. I've always had such a high energy level that people
would often assume I was on something! Energy drinks couldn't touch me! I would make dates to take my
students out dancing then time after time have to bough out due to symptoms flaring
up. Full of frustration and feeling physically & emotionally drained, I was
getting to my wit's end. We were building Studio 6 while Wes was finishing his
time in the Navy on graveyard shift & I was hitting the bulk of my symptoms...so
that meant when he wasn't here trying to work on it in an exhausted state
himself, & on
the wrong time schedule, I was the one person holding down the fort & trying to
wear multiple hats at once while getting only a few hours of sleep and feeling
nauseous and exhausted. I most frustrated not having the energy I felt
my students deserved from me.
Help: I thank my lucky stars for having such wonderful family. My mother
referred me to a Naturopath (Dr Barkshire), who along with my G. doctor,
diagnosed me and helped me at least exist again! After going through a deep
'master cleanse,' a natural supplement, and
watching how many hours I sleep, I am worlds better! Still not out of the woods, I
deal with
several symptoms (not sure how I accomplished what I did before!) but now I can at least
survive most of my days! I have also begun to see an Acupuncturist/Chinese
Herbalist (Lisa Taylor-Swanson). A wonderful "coffee shop," called Caffe Dei,
moved in across the street from the ballroom serving very healthy food including
raw food dishes and I look forward to trying and learning from them. PCOS with
possible Endometriosis is frustrating!
I share this because
I know there's a lot of you very frustrated out there like myself who may or may
not know (very challenging to diagnose). I've read many blogs
containing lots of cries for help. I know I'm very lucky to get as far as I have
so far and that I have such wonderful support around me.
Update: I am very excited to have found Katie Humphreys and her support network!
I look forward to learning more from her. Feeling some hope instead of
discouragement after just an introduction is HUGE! Very excited to have
communicated directly as well.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like
more details and/or contacts. I would love to listen & share in hopes of
helping!
