JIBBIE49 I'm trying not to spend so much time on Sparks as I've been here for over 9 yrs now. I went to a new doctor on Monday who specializes in anti-aging. He talked to me for half hour about how I had PCOS(Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome) from age 13 & how I'd gained so much weight during each pregnancy but lost it while nursing. I told him I've been fat since I've been 41 & I just haven't been able to get down under 160#. So he put me on Metformin, even though my blood sugar is at 115 & diabetes is at 126. He says it will help (Richard Bernstein M.D. in "The Diabetes Solution" says all obese people can benefit from Metformin for weight loss.) He had read Dr. B's book. He gave me a new version of Phentermine but I only took one tab yesterday. I'm taking a low dose of thyroid medicine at night which he said would help, even though my thyroid is okay. He says we all lose thyroid as we age. He gave me a couple other meds to take as well. So, I'm doing low carb and I plan to stay seeing him once a month. He doesn't take insurance, but he only charged $75 and my medical covered the pharmacy. So, that is where I'm at now. i so want to be slim again and STAY there. Hugs. 1459 days ago
