I saw the endocrinologist last week, and he made the clinical diagnosis of PCOS. He also thinks I might be hypoglycemic and/or insulin resistant, so he made the decision to put me on Glucophage. I’m supposed to follow-up in May.

I liked him. I think English was his second or third language because he asked me what happens when I “escape breakfast or other meals” and I was sent off into one of my reveries. Of course, he meant “skip” but he wasn’t mispronouncing it, he was clearly saying “escape.”

I’m basically as healthy as a horse other than these weird symptoms that won’t go away – my test results are always in normal ranges, and “people like me (read: fat)” don’t usually have the blood pressure, pulse, and respiration rates that I do. But the endo clearly thinks my hormones are CRAZY or he wouldn’t have put me on meds (he said as much).

In the mean time, I am trying not to escape meals.
