I am embarking on a new journey or at least a small detour or side ride or whatever you want to call it. A friend’s mom has been reading my posts and sent me some information about some research things they have going on at UAB. I inquired about 2 of them but only one replied. A group at UAB in the Nutrition & Wellness Group have put together a research study on PCOS & how insulin affects or is affected by this disease. There is no medication involved just good old hard work & diet, which is exactly what I need after all the time that I have spent ‘medicated’. They will do some blood draws, MRI’s, & other testing to get thorough information for their study. They are supposed to give me a diet plan to follow, and will show me what exercise I will need to do. Throughout the process they will monitor several things. I know that it is not necessarily the ideal situation but I am gonna look at it from a positive view point. They are going to supply me with the knowledge of the best workout & diet plan for someone with my “condition” and help me lose weight. I will have a dietician, exercise specialist, and all I have to provide is a little bit of my time, a little blood, & some testing. I am thinking that in a small way I can help other women out there in the future. They are trying to find better ways to treat this illness, and better ways to help women get pregnant. I am just trying to find my place in all of this, and maybe this is the beginning. I am sure that I have little to no idea as to what I am in for, but the good thing is I can drop it at any time. I am hoping that this is the start to a better, brighter year full of happiness, & maybe somewhere a long the way, the baby (babies) that we have been waiting for. Lets see what 2012 has to offer!
