New Name

I am getting ready to go to my blood test - the one that should confirm the diagnosis of PCOS, but before I do I wanted to share a quick blurb from a conversation I had with my amazing Meggie. I was sharing how there was a bit of shame every time I had to say the name Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome because it says something is wrong with my ovaries - part of my reproduction system. And it really frustrates me, because the problem starts with insulin, not ovaries. I ranted about it for a minute, and she said that I should come up with a new name. And I should practice that name over and over and over again until I could say it with a straight face. And then when I have to share about it, I could say, "I have My Body Hates Me Syndrome." And play it off nonchalantly. I seriously might have to try it.

Thanks Meggie for the laugh and for the wonderful time together yesterday - I needed it and so appreciated it! Hope you enjoyed it too!

I have lots more I want to update on, but that will have to be after I go get leeched. And I just have to say it's annoying how I rarely eat breakfast, but on the day I have to fast, of course, I wake up starving!!
