PCOS is tied in with a pre-diabetic metabolism, so they Rx'd me something called Metformin. It targets insulin resistance, something I was showing signs of. I didn't realize I'd been showing signs of it all my life: hunger was never something I could casually address, it was always a big low-blood sugar freakout. Because of that, I've always eaten in a manner to keep it at bay. Heavy foods and eating before I got hungry (because there was nothing between not hungry and RAVENOUS). Well, I didn't realize that wasn't how most people are. Apparently there's this feeling that goes "Hmm, food is starting to sound good. I wonder what I should make for dinner?" Yeah, there is! And now I've experienced it!
Do you understand? This is a physical revelation to me. I can choose if I want to eat or not. That's never happened before. Before it was all about staying ahead of the crash - the terrible, shaky body, fogged mind and wanting to cry I was so hungry crash.
I don't know how long this is going to last, and I don't know how I feel about once again being in debt to big pharma, but right now I'll take it.
