PCOS

Here is yet another reason why I need to start living a more healthy lifestyle. My doctor called me yesterday to discuss my test results, which came back positive for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). As of right now, I am frustrated and scared. This is not a fatal disease but it is a disease nonetheless. Unfortunately, I missed my doctor's call and she left the unsettling news on my voicemail. I have yet to hear from her. From that time until now, I have been researching PCOS online: "there is no cure." "symptoms include infertility." Argh.

So as not to leave this entry on a sour note, here are the things I am thankful for:

1. Anthroholic's blog: Her entries are filled with one of my passions outside of medicine and science--- Anthropology. After studying and work, Kim gives me the opportunity to step out of my reality and into a care free world filled with ruffled skirts, pink chiffon, and polka dot tights.

2. The power of prayer

3. Second chances
