Test results - need help (PCOS & Hair Loss)

posted by Kathy , New York, 04.10.2007, 21:10

Thank you all for answering!

I am 46 and yes I think I am in peri. I've had irregular periods since last year.

In the beginning of this past summer I've been feeling "blah" and not having much energy at all. In July is when I noticed I was losing more hair than normal. Right now I don't have an acne problem or any unusual hair growth (you know, where we ladies don't want hair). I had an appointment to see my GYN this coming Monday for my yearly, but I had to cancel it for the following week because I started my period. I was hoping I wouldn't start my period until AFTER! Anyway, I am anxious to see him and bring him a copy of my blood work so maybe he can see about getting me in for an ultrasound or a CT scan to look for any cysts. I had an ovarian cyst in Feb. '06, but nothing was done about it. My primary doctor said it would more than likely shrink on it's own. I was hoping they'd keep an eye on it.

I just don't understand this whole excess T stuff! It is really making me panic and wondering what is going on inside my body. At least for now my voice hasn't deepened - let's just say, I am really scared. Last year at this time my free & weak % was a little high (if I remember right, it was around 20), but now it is 38!!! I just don't understand why it went up 18 points! Also, what bums me out is I'm on Spiro and I thought the Spiro was suppose to lower my T. My Spiro dosage is 50 mgs. I asked my Endo if he should raise my dosage and he said no to keep it where it is.
