Getting Healthy

Is my goal. I have so many medical problems that I have let go and havent done follow ups on. I have been so focused on the girls and have totally let myself go. I am not proud of that. Both girls have had there share of drs visits and being sick. Kenzie with her lose joints, Kylie with reflux and now allergies. I swear it feels like they are always sick and we live at the doctors. So far this month alone between the girls and I we have gone to the drs atleast 10 times in this month alone. But both seem to be okay at the moment...knock on wood

Well I go next month to the gyno to talk about getting on Birth Control. I want to get Implanon so we shall see. But I really want to talk to her about PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) I was diagnosed with this at 13. I was treated from then till I was 19. At which time I stoped taking the medicine when I found out I was pregnant. I have yet to talk to any dr about this condition. Well in light of everything I did some research. OMG I can not believe everything I have been going threw the past 4 years has been linked to this. The weight is a big one. I had no idea. Also thinking of it as soon as I stoped the meds I gained weight. Over the past 4 I had gained 75lbs! I didnt really change my diet either. I have since lost 40lbs but I pretty much stick to a diet to do it. I cant wait to talk to a dr about getting back on meds again.

Another problem I have is Scoliosis. When I was getting the epidural with Kylie I was told I had a curve (Scoliosis) in my spine. Which lead to complications with the epidural. But I have yet to see a dr about this. It effects me daily but I have lived with the pain. Well Monday Morning I will be calling to make a appt. to my PCM to see about getting a referal to a specialist to see what can be done about this. I am also wanting to talk about getting a breast reduction. As I know I have alot of strain put on my shoulders/back/neck from the weight oh my chest. (my girls are doomed in this area)

I am scared about what doctors will say and I hate being looked at and examined....scarey
