Hi Christina! What time is it there?

Um it's 10:05pm. It's dark out and I'm tired and cranky. And mad that I am planning two Europe trips and I have to do all the work and I'm stressed to my max. And I don't have a backpack and I'm going on a hike so I have to have a backpack not a suitcase. Wah.

I have a puffy face. I notice that I have lines by my chin and I look like a puppet, and then I realised I have lines by chin because it's my cheeks. I have puffy cheeks, so it's not so much lines as it, well, it's lines.

funny lady.. we missed you!

Lasik is the eye procedure.

I was going to ask.. did your eyes have water retention issues too?

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Sarah, are things better since crazy left between you and dbf?

funny lady.. we missed you!

I know, I miss you guys all the time too. It really sucks being on such a different time zone now, but the good news is in September and in December I'll be back on the same time zone cuz I'm going home to visit! I can't wait. And I think we're squeezing in a disney trip which will mean spending more time in the parks than actually with my family because we are only taking 2 weeks off to go home, one week in California, one week in canada haha. I don't feel bad.

Oh, how interesting! I would not have thought that either, but who knows? It can't hurt!

I wish I'd learned more about PCOS when my other friend was diagnosed! I wonder how her treatment is going, and what all they're doing for her. She was done having kids when she was diagnosed, but I think she was also around your age, or no more than 30 definitely.

But I'm confused. If the tests all came back in the normal range, does she still think you have PCOS? Or is that a negative?

See, Im not sure on that. I know she wants me back in in 2 months for more testing, and to see how things are going with these pills. I know she was a little concerned by how close I was to NOT being in the normal range with my testosterone levels. I dont know if they go up over time, or what.

As long as I keep my diet on track, and can hold down my blood pressure and stuff, Im good. I dont know if there is much she can do.

searching searching.. hmmm, related to PCOS....



The disorder in which excessive hair growth is stimulated by androgenesis is called hirsutism. Hirsutism can be accompanied by other changes, such as balding, deepening of the voice and cessation of menstruation. In other words, excessive hair growth is usually not the only symptom of a true medical disorder.

Most hirsutism is caused by overproduction of androgens from one of the two natural sources of androgens in women : the ovary or the adrenal gland. The predominant androgen from the ovary is testosterone, while DHEA -- currently marketed as a dietary supplement -- comes from the adrenals. Simple blood tests that measure DHEA and testosterone can pinpoint the source of the trouble.


A number of other medications have proven helpful. Spironolactone, a diuretic, inhibits androgen production

YES! I took all those tests... mmmhhhhmmm... I am understanding now.

could the extra testosterone have something to do with the wanting to stab peoples eyes out!

might all be related.

Probably!

My brother had it done when it was first out like in 96 or somewhere around that timeframe. anyway, he has had no problems and I know the procedure has gotten better since then.

House is on and I want a snack. And I have no idea what you guys are talking about, water retention in the eyes and brain? eh? Sounds like a case for doctor House.

Just about everyone I know has had it done (except for me and dh) and they all loved it, and have had no problems. I want to do it but I'm chicken.

Hi I'm back. You guys sure new alot of creepy people. The only person I know that's creepy like that is my sister but she does it just to me. Like the time we went on the bus together and she sat beside me but turned and stared at me with a pervert smile the whole way She creeps me out, but at least I know it's in jest... I hope.

Ahhhh, peanut M&Ms....

For the Easter baskets this year I bought plain and peanut M&Ms, and Jelly Belly and Starburst jellybeans. I don't care for plain M&Ms, but love peanut.

And I found out (this Easter!) that Ds7 does not even like peanut M&Ms, so lucky me!!!

Yes and no.

DBF told me that she wants to come out for the summer with her 2 kids to look for work and a house becasue she wants to move to CA. But he doesn't think she is really serious about it because she told him that she is training a summer replacement at work but the lady is just going to work the summer, so it sounds like she is planning to go back to CO. Plus she doesn't even know if she will be able to take the kids becasue nothing is settled yet with her divorce.
I also told DBF to make sure she understands that it's not goingto be like last time she came out because I know she is thinking it's going to be a 3 month long vacation and I know she will expect DBF to take her and her kids places, but DBF only has 1 more month of therapy and then he is going back to work.
Oh, well, I'm not getting myself all worried about it yet because it might not happen.
