I just told my mom off today. She owes my Billy's (DF) grandma money and she has excuses of why don't she send her some money. He was invited to my sister's wedding back in September and he couldn't set at the bride's family table because he isn't family. I told my mom that if he isn't family then I don't want to be in this family no mo...

Well, I had a drs appt today to see how this PCOS study with weight loss works and Im going to go for it. It's a low glycemic diet and hoping that it will work for me to shed these extra pounds away. I've stopped taking the Metformin today because he said that the Low GI diet works the same way as the Metformin but got to put a little effort into it of exercising, which we already ha...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

I started swiming again on the 29th Sept.
The pool is 25m in lenth so
10 lengths = 1/4 of a kilometre
20 lengths = 1/2 of a kilometre
40 lenghts = 1 kilometre
or
64 lenghts = 1 mile
32 lenghts = 1/2 miles
16 lenghts = 1/4 mile
So my 1st time I same 22 lengths just over 1/2 km
the following week I swam 36 lenghts just over 1/2 mile
and this week I swam 50 lenghts whch is 1 1/4 km
My goal for next week is 64 l...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

After the Progesterone injection yesterday my right arm has become sore along with redness, swelling, warm to touch, and hurts. I don't know if this is normal or if Im having a reaction to it. It is also numb and have a knot under the skin. I know that it's a foreign object injected into the muscle, but it still hurts.1 Recommendation -

Ok, I just got home from the drs office. First of all he didn't increase my dosage of Metformin, but he did mention that there is a FREE weight loss study to see if losing weight with PCOS will help get the ball moving with conceiving. He had given me a Progestrone shot so that AF will show up. If AF don't show up after the 2 weeks (10/16) then I've got to notify the office that I hav...1 Recommendation -

Ok, so I've got a doctors appointment Friday to see if I can get my Metformin increased from 1000mg a day. I have been feeling bloated even though AF hasn't showed up for 2 months now. I have been having lower back pain along with pains in my hips as if it's my sciatic nerve causing me these problems. If it is my sciatic nerve, then it's probably damage from the Prednisone that I was on for 6 mon...1 Recommendation -

Thrombocytopenic Purpura Information
Thrombocytopenic purpura are purpura associated with a reduction in circulating blood platelets which can result from a variety of causes.
There are two known types:
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the condition of having a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) of no known cause (idiopathic). As most causes appear to be related to antibodies against platelets, it is also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Although most cases are asymptomatic, very low platelet counts can lead to a bleeding diathesis and purpura.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP or Moschcowitz disease) is a rare disorder of the blood coagulation system that in most cases arises from the deficiency or inhibition of the enzyme ADAMTS13, which is responsible for cleaving large multimers of von Willebrand factor. It is a serious condition that leads to hemolysis and end-organ damage, and may require plasmapheresis therapy.
