well, im setting up with a new endocrinologist/gyno (like the other
doctor i had who was very knowledged in PCOS, etc and seemed to be
very up to date on it all...), and hopefully i can find out where
everything stands as far as hormonal levels and all of that go, and
work out a good system plan to go along with what im already doing.


another thing... is it normal... for someone's blood pressure (with my
physical characteristics) to go from 120/80 to say 105/70 and even
96/70? all within a week, each time at the doctor's, its been either
of these. 96 seems a bit low to me, too. even day by day it'll be like
this or even within a few hrs time. fluctuates about around those
intervals all the time. in fact, i think its always kind of been like
that. though, in the past, my doctor's never really mentioned it.. but
when they did or i asked....

so, i dont think these fluctuations have much to do with the day or
time of day, or what i ate, etc. since it can change within a matter
of minutes to an hour, really.

It's normal if the person has PCOS symptoms caused by Cushing's syndrome
or disease, a common condition rarely diagnosed.

Cushing's syndrome is neither normal nor common.

Everyone with PCOS is
supposed to be evaluated for Cushing's first.

Someone with Cushing's syndrome will likely have physical exam
findings suggestive of that diagnosis.

May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way.

Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,
