dr said i have diabetes and an irregular heart beat that they are Still testing. not good girl dr said guy dr was very wrong for trying to send me home. also she did an ultrasound and i have 7 cysts between the two ovaries and one the size of a grapefruit! she performed a d &c. could be in hospital for a couple of days. so glad i stuck up and demanded for a second opinion!!
Wow, it's so good that you reached out for advice and support and went back to the hospital and that you were prepared to ask for another doctor. I hope things will begin to improve for you now that you have treatment and diagnosis.0 -
type 1
I have been a registered nurse for over 25 years and that is some serious stuff you've been diagnosed with.
Diabetes, arrhythmias & cysts in and of themselves need immediate intervention.
The three together would leave me a bit rattled too.
Glad you are getting the care you need.0 -

Sooo glad you went back and stood your ground! Knowing what's wrong is the first step to getting better. That other douche-doctor needs a reprimand! If you are type-1, you will have to work with them on getting control of your blood sugars since consistently high BS will tear down vascular system affecting the heart and kidneys among other things.
Stay strong and ask lots of questions while you are there. Don't let them drop the ball on anything sweetie! Keep us posted!0 -
Go to emergency room, they have to take you.[/i]

Seems strange and leaving stuff out. Blood work was fine last week, but now your H/H is suddenly low that you need a couple units? And new diagnosis of type 1 DM? Your H/H shouldn't have dropped in a week after months of bleeding. Also, diabetes doesn't just show up after a week. It would have shown on the CMP last week.0

I believe she stated the other doc did not treat her very well and did not do much.0 -

I'm so sorry that it turned out to be multiple serious things, but it's good you stuck up for yourself and are getting the treatment you need.0 -
You need medical attention tonight. Right now. I'm just a dumb paramedic but you need medical attention soon and don't take NO for an answer!
Paramedics aren't dumb, just crazy.

Menorrhagia is the term used to describe menstrual bleeding characterized by heavy flow and/or prolonged duration. Heavy flow lasting more than seven days but occurring with regular monthly periods may be normal for some women. However, menorrhagia is a symptom, which is usually the result of an underlying condition.
Menorrhagia is often associated with:
irregular menstrual periods
passage of large blood clots
menstrual bleeding that soaks through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours
disruption of a woman's usual lifestyle activities
pain in the lower abdominal area during a period
Possible causes of menorrhagia include:
hormonal imbalances (especially estrogen and progesterone)
anemia or blood clotting disorders
fibroids, cysts, polyps, or tumors of the cervix or uterus
certain birth control devices (such as an intrauterine device — IUD)
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
abnormal pregnancy (a miscarriage, for example)
But I'm not a doctor. That's just some stuff I know. It's best to go to the ER or something for medical care.0 -
hey guys. i went to er. same dr as before and he said its just water retention from my period combined with my weight. and im anemic but to just take iron pills. i got so furious and demanded another dr. and finally got one and it was a female!!and as soon as that dr saw my feet and heard about the weight gain she admitted me. theyve been running tests and giving me.a couple units. ill update when i get more info.
Thank God! I am sending hugs and healing energy your way.0 -

I'm so glad you stood up for yourself and demanded a second opinion. None of these issues are things to be taken lightly, especially untreated. They should be able to help you learn how to manage your diabetes (is this a new diagnosis or was it something you have been coping with long term?) as well as arrange for treatment of your cysts if at all possible. *hugs*0 -
Take care of yourself and get better I've always found that just knowing what's wrong (or mostly what's wrong) can ease up most of the stress and make you feel a lot better. Hopefully having a competent doctor will help get this all straightened out for you.0

You did the smart thing and you're in the right place. Time to relax, rest and be taken care of. xx0

Oh my gosh, so glad you stuck up for yourself and demanded another doctor. Sorry to hear you have diabetes, but great to know that you at least know that now, so you can get help with this. Sorry to hear about the other problems too, sure hope they can get you all treated and well again.
Take care.0 -
The other thing I find a bit weird is the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Now generally young people with this diagnosis lose lots of weight, not gain! Type 2 is probably more accurate. I notice from an earlier posting by the OP that she was once on metformin (used to treat tyoe 2 diabetes) although apparently also used to treat PCOS. The OP took herself off this medication. I am also interested in learning whether the pulmonary embolism/congestive cardiac failure worries manifested actually were proven? At any rate, with her history of continuous menstruation, I am glad she is getting her gynae problems sorted and perhaps with the change in lifestyle advocated by this site she will also (in time) sort out both the diabetes and the pcos...good luck with your goals, OP0

So glad to hear you managed to see a better doctor than the first jerk! How could he be so dismissive of your serious conditions? Idiot!!
I hope you get your conditions sorted out and are able to return to good health. :flowerforyou:0
