Hospital Stay/PCOS

It's Thanksgiving and I am spending it in the hospital. I have been here since the 20th of November. I have been having thoughts on how I am going to manage the rest of my life this way, and then I got a phone call from one of my doctors. I have been officially diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. It seems that when I am in the middle and toward the end of my menstrual cycle, my body starts to attack itself and hence I end up with cycles of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. So now the plan of action is to treat the PCOS in hope that we can start to manage my CVS better. I can have my symptoms reduced to as much as 75% of the time. In my eyes that is not to bad. I am sick monthly and have not been able to work. So hopefully This will help and just maybe I can get back to some type of a normal routine, living again, enjoying the small things in life again. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I have hope....That's a good thing
