Went and got the results of my labwork today.
1. PCOS
2. High testosterone (because of PCOS)
3. Hypothyroidism (levels are double normal)
4. Insulin Resistance
5. Vitamin D Insufficiency
I literally almost burst into tears on the way to my car because I had a diagnosis, and some kind of answers.
She referred me to an endocrinologist to get on thyroid meds. She said that once I'm on those, and taking Vitamin D supplements, I will feel WAY better, not be so tired all the time etc. AND if I get stable, it might help me to lose weight, and will help with my depression issues.
I am happy to have learned all of this, but am also sad because I know that PCOS can make it very hard to lose weight even with diet and exercise, and that makes me scared. But I'm going to focus on the good - that it's not just my imagination, that the doctor FINALLY found some results, and that I am hopefully on the road to getting more healthy and stable.
