No, it's ok. Thanks for the info.

I haven't had a period in well over a year, but that's because of me being on dialysis. I don't miss it one bit! LOL.

I heard somewhere that PCOS makes it very hard for a woman to conceive. Is that true? And if so then you were very lucky to have been able to have as many kids as you have.

Keep your weight down.

Exercise regularly - especially exercises that build a strong core - abdominals etc.

Sit in chairs with no arm and no back. You will learn to hold yourself erect using only your core muscles.

Good luck.

So I went to my followup appointment on Friday, and established myself a "Primary Care Physician". That's insurance-speak for "The doctor that you will be seeing most often."

She has been out of school for 12 years, and taught at the medical school here for 10 of them, she's just gone off and created her own practice. I like her. She's short, east indian without the heavy accent, and has a great chair-side manner.

Turns out I'm 14 pounds lighter than I thought I was, but still 100 pounds over what I should be. First thing she said was, "You gotta lose the weight." So I brought up the PCOS and she asked me a bunch of medical history stuff, and got out a lab form. SO I gotta go tomorrow morning and get all kinds of bloodwork done, then go back in 2 weeks.

Meantime, she said that my bed can be causing more than half the problem, and encouraged me to go buy a "back bed". So I did. I got a king size therapedic, and it was delivered yesterday.

I woke up today hurting like I did two thursdays ago. Steve seems to think that it's because our backs just aren't used to the support, and it should clear up in a couple days.

I went back on the Flexoril and Motrin, and came to work. Bleh. Hopefully this will clear up.

You sure it wasn't from "christening" the new bed?
