Some one pass the bucket...

Remember when I said the more anxious I get the more I need to pee..... Well now I'm at the point that I want to puke. Damn Nerves!!

Tomorrow I go and see the new doctor.... Dr. B. He is a fertility specialist who has had his own practice in northern Ontario for over 15 years. Recently he has come down to my neck of the woods as there has been a calling for fertility doctors in my area. Most of the women I know have been traveling to "the big city" or surrounding ones for fertility treatments. Not handy when there are times where you need to be in the office every day with monitoring your cycles, ultrasounds, blood work etc. It's sad that I say women ..... It seems that about 25% of the women that I know are struggling with fertility. Regardless if it's their first time up to bat, second, or third. It seems that things have changed a lot in the past 60 years. I personally think part of the problem is our environment and our food. Genetically modified this, enhanced with "natural sugar" that..... When did this become the norm? Where did eating from the earth become passé ?

I grew up in a home where we ate whatever was put in front of you. Feast or famine... Our choice. But the food was always quality, healthy, nutritious food! A variety of colourful vegetables and fruits. With the occasional ice cream, or salt and vinegar chips. That was literally once and a blue moon. So I'm trying to resort back to that way of eating ...more cleanly.

I went to visit a Naturopath a few weeks ago. It was finally refreshing to hear someone who knew about PCOS and how to deal with it. I really needed to know what I should and shouldn't be eating. How to lose weight (because everything I was doing wasn't working!). Women with PCOS who have weight issues tend to find it extremely hard to lose it. Not only are we dealing with an androgenic body, we are dealing with insulin resistance. Two big things that hinder weight loss unless they are controlled by diet, exercise and medication. She has helped me hone into a "diet" called Paleo (Primal). I say "diet" because really, it's not that, it's a lifestyle change. This paleo lifestyle is hard... and expensive. It's delicious don't get me wrong... But I didn't think it was going to be as challenging as it has been. But, I feel so much better and I am losing weight bit by bit. So I think I'm going to stick with it. I feel that my PCOS symptoms will subside or dull in time if I stick with it.

Now to try to incorporate yoga into the equation again! Gotta control the anxiety! Ommmmmm...................
