I AM LOOKING FOR HELP FINDING A DR WITH A CLUE!!!!?????
I had been going to my Dr for years. Asking what was wrong with me. I am signifigantly overweight, have male pattern baldness, and facial hair.
I spend my days, covering my thinning hair and having my upper lip and chin waxed. I had done weight watchers and lost 7lbs over 6 weeks. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED WHEN THE OTHERS WERE LOSING 7 LBS A WEEK!!!!! Althought i am not TTC.... The only time in my adult life when i did not battle my weight is when i was pregnant.
I found out about this disease by accident. After researching it and discovering I had a large percent of the listed symptoms I printed out the information and took it to my Dr. Basically, I told him PROVE I DONT HAVE THIS!!!! And needless to say, here I am and he couldnt prove it. I have since been to 2 other doctors and an endocronologist. None of which seem to want to take the time to deal with this problem. So thanks to this WONDERFUL SITE!!! I come to you looking for help.
HOW THE HECK DO I FIND A GOOD DOCTOR WTIH A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was on the Metfromin and it did work to decrease my insulin level... but the side effects for me were awful. Horrible GI upset and lethargy. I was on it for 2 1/2 months. I stopped taking it 10 days ago and actually I feel great. But, obviously it would be stupid of me to ignore the problem. So I need to find someone with some alternatives, and some realistic information or dealing with this disease.
ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!
