PCOS

A few years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome). There are may symptoms to PCOS, like weight gain, facial or body hair, infertility, abdomen pain, diabetes or pre diabetes and more. To be diagnosed there is a simple blood test. Treatment plans vary and I think that it depends on you and your Doctor as to what you do. For the first couple of years, I took a hormone, Pregesterone to help me have a regular menstral cycle, then I just quit doing anything. In the past whenever I ate healthy I would have a regular mestral cycle and I would lose weight.

This time has been alot different for me. For about four months I ate healthy, excersized, and did what I was suppose to do, however I was still not menstrating. I went to the doctor and he was going to put me on Glucophage to help with my inciline which would help me with my cycle. I asked him if I could try some natural ways before starting this medicine and he said that it was fine.

The last time I went to see my cousin Sandy, she gave me some vitamins that should help restore my body and hopefully get my system to start working. The first month on the new vitamins I had a very light/short cycle. Hurray! Something was happening to my body! Well this week is the second month and I am wishing that it was as easy as the first. This is the worst cycle I have ever had. I hurt, I am grouchy, and I want to eat!

I can only praise God for bringing me to this place. I am amazed how he answers my prayers and how faithful he is. As mush as I don't feel well, I raise my hands to the Lord and thank him for his faithfulness! One of the sriptures that we learned in the last couple of months says "Now what I have commanded you to do is not to difficult or beyond your reach", I say amen! This is not to dificult and I can handle this!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for your faithfulness. I praise you for restoring my body and getting it back to working order! Thank you for placing the right people in my life and for the knowledge that you have given Sandy and her willingness to share with us. Lord please continue to heal my body and provide me with the stregnth to get through this.

Amen
