Great experience with new MD

[Guest guest]

Hi gals,

Ok last night I met my new GYN and I really felt a great energy from her. She

has a very 'earth mother' energy about her and also believes in herbal usage-

-and the full mind/body/spirit which is what I believe in so I have finally

found

what I need in a doctor. She spoke with me for almost an hour and she is a

Kaiser Doctor--wow! First of all, she told me that she did indeed review my

chart and did not feel that I have PCOS. She proceeded to tell me I am not

insulin resistant and do not have anything on my ovaries, and she would not

classify me as having extra hair where it does not belong. She told me that

maybe I was begining to get pcos and the BC pill Yasmin put the breaks on it.

Bad news is it is possible the pill lit the fire on the fibroid that I have. My

fibroid

symptoms just began shortly after I began the pill last April. It is 2 inches

big in

the back of my uterus but she is going to do another sono in 6 months. She

said the shape and color of it on the sono is consistant with fibroids and that

cancer comes up in other shapes and colors. Furthermore, she told me that

the past 4 years have been very sad and difficult ones for me with a domino

effect of my sister getting diagnosed with terminal cancer, my having a

miscarriage, my sister dying, and then my dad recently dying. The doctor

leaned over and said " please excuse me for saying this " but stress will

*%$#@ your body up " I was shocked but I laughed because I really needed a

medical professional to tell me that and not just tell me it is all in my head.

So

we discussed my taking yoga, being good to myself, and she recommended

raspberry tea for cramps, along with Prim Rose Oil, Dong Quai and since my

sex drive has taken a nose dive Ginsing. If my pain persists, or gets worse I

am to call her. I have gone through many years of no periods, some periods,

wanting to get pregnant, loosing the pregnacy and it has drained me in so

many ways. Funny but I would not be surprised if I mentally created this tumor

trying to vision a child in my womb. I had a male GYN that really needed to go

to charm school also he was so rude to me. When I was taking Clomid to see

if it made me ovulate I asked if I should use protection because I did not want

to get pregnant yet and he told me " you have more chance of getting hit by

LIGHTNING than getting pregnant. " That did it his comment was the final

straw and now I have a MD that I hope will stay around a long time and now I

can begin to do some positive things for myself other than feel like an

inadequate woman.
