I suppose there is some (not a lot, but some) logic to using the most computer illiterate person in the office as a guinea pig for a new computer system -- it lets IT figure out where the "idiot threshold" is for that particular type of system. Fortunately Macs are pretty user friendly.

You know what REALLY grinds my gears? When a band I like suddenly disables embedding on their music videos on youtube. What this means is that I can't share my love of the band with other people. Bunch of butthurt dick-faces is what they are. Grrr.
mjc, Mol, Time Warping, Herb Hernandez and Maxamad liked this
Are you sure the band is the one that owns that profile? I've learned that a lot of individuals disable embedding because they're posting things without permission and want to stay a little more under the radar so they don't get the video DMCA'd.
- Spidra Webster
That could very well be, in which case I'm a little less miffed but still kind of irritated in that I didn't get the video from the actual band as I had originally thought.
- Jon, the Beartato of FF
If it turns out it *is* the band, write them and let them know how you feel. When/if I finally get a music video made of songs on my album, I would be overjoyed to have people embedding it. Most artists know that they can only benefit from having fans talk up their work.

"Ashley Price felt terrible. She was tired, dizzy spells came and went, dark splotches popped up on her chest for no reason, and she'd gained 50 pounds in two years. Some days she was starving; other days she could barely eat. Her doc suggested that her problems would go away if Price just ate less and exercised more, even though she was dieting and working out regularly. Price demanded thyroid tests, only to have them come back normal. Women may feel like their symptoms aren't taken seriously and that they're told to stop worrying. Her doctor told her: "I have no idea what it is. Wait for it to go away." It didn't go away. "I could no longer think straight, no matter how hard I tried or what I did," Price says. Worse, she suffered three straight miscarriages. Finally, four years after this nightmare began -- after the third miscarriage -- an ultrasound revealed that her ovaries were riddled with cysts. She had polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder; symptoms include irregular...

i also saw this. i think if the doctors aren't taking their patients' concerns seriously, that's an issue that should be addressed in medical school or CMEs. patients being informed about potential diseases is good, but they shouldn't have to make their own diagnoses because the doctors don't believe them.
- Jessie
I suggested a friend ask abut this disorder because I had read about the symptoms in a women's magazine. It might have taken the doctor a very long time to come up with this diagnosis, if ever. Yet if we tell the doctor "I read about this" we're dismissed as hypochondriacs.

I know several people with PCOS - do doctors somehow not know?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
If I had a bottle of champagne for every time a doctor has told me to lose weight and exercise more we'd be having a big party. And do they ever act even the slightest bit contrite when something "real" turns up? I think not.
- Amy℠
I think PCOS is usually diagnosed by gyn because women come in complaining about the lack of period, and they don't even consider the other symptoms related. I know a few people who just consider not getting a period or getting a few a year to be "normal" - or if the woman has been on birth control a long time and is coming off, maybe? (I don't know if b/c helps control PCOS) - I think a lot of doctors don't want to mess with the pelvic region at all especially if it sounds like your symptoms are unrelated.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Along the same lines, I feel guilty whenever I complain about a health issue or go to a doctor for a complaint. I feel like people (especially the doctor) think that I'm faking, even though I know darn well that I'm not. I guess I've had a crummy history with doctors plus I hate feeling like a pest.

We all need to stop feeling like we are "whining." Let's make a pact. I just got an object lesson in this on Friday (see comment to Joey on my thread) - docs had been saying pain is FMS; new doc actually X-rayed & found bone spur. This is a feminist issue - whether or not docs are male/female - it is us cowing down to patriarchy. ARISE!

PCOS is very common. Shop around with doctors until they get it right. Sad.

I love my (GP) doctor. I call him "Dr Doogie" because he's the same age as my kid. He takes me seriously. I can email him. He does my GYN but he'd be cool with it if I asked to see a female instead. He's one of the New Breed who believe in collaborating with patients in making health care decisions. And it's great that he's at a Johns Hopkins campus; I can get my lab work done right there. When I found a lump in my breast I was examined that day and had surgery 8 weeks later.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I also have PCOS. I probably had it since high school, but it was only diagnosed about 5 years ago. I'm actually glad for the experience, because it made it that much easier for me to be diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. (In that I knew something was wrong and pursued it.) Oh, and like many others - I only started investigating it when a friend from grad school suggested it sounded like PCOS (she had a friend with it).
- Laura H.
To finally get my diagnosis, I really had to push. I now bring a one-page doc to each appointment, with my current meds/dosages, med allergies, recent diagnostics/procedures, symptoms, and questions/concerns. The doctor doesn't always read the whole thing, but they do put them in my chart. My pain mgmt doc often reads it completely when she reviews my chart before my next visit. And my PCP *loves* them.

Demi Moore's W Cover: Worst Photoshop Ever? - A-Line: the celebrity style blog - omg! on Yahoo - http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs...
PENGUIN: MAJOR CAPS LOCK liked this
"Everyone knows by now that magazines extensively airbrush the stars on their covers, and usually the celebs appreciate a little touchup and wouldn't want it any other way. But imagine Demi Moore, 47, getting her first look at the latest (December) cover of W and finding that a huge chunk of her hip has been digitally removed? That's what the folks at Boing Boing called attention to yesterday. The mistake hardly needs to be pointed out. If you look at Moore's left hip (our right), it seems that what used to be flesh is now a great deal of white space. But, don't worry, Mrs. Kutcher's thigh still seems normal, though now it appears to bulge out below her sarong. Magazine covers go through an exhaustive process of approvals, so it's puzzling that this one made it to press with a mistake so obvious it's visible a few yards from the newsstand. Check out the close-up view."
