İnanılmaz işçilik var ama. Yemeye kıyamaz insan. :) - Numan Arda Çebi

eriyebilir yatak :) - GokceGoksel

NOM - Shevonne

Drunkaholix.com? - Louis Gray

What are you writing? - Gary Burd

Gary, some basic php form handling code but I am getting all screwed up with the CSS. Louis - it's not bad enough that is is called Lika "holix" :) - Bindu Reddy

Cristo, I have a deadline.. So have to finish.. but the chicory stout from Dogfish head totally rocks :) - Bindu Reddy

Thinking about your problems in a different light is always a good thing. - Hayes Haugen

One way of looking at it. I have made no progress on the code..I have just been fooling around on FF and twitter - Bindu Reddy

I used to consume quite a bit (for me) of the Midas Touch Golden Elixir from Dogfish Head. I love the story. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Why doesn't this surprise me? - Katy S

This experience is very familiar. - Spidra Webster

don't like. It is practically impossible to get diagnosed if you're a woman and have pain. I am sure a lot of other people here have had similar problems. :( - Andrizzle Gizzle

Yep. - joey

That's why I posted it. I got lucky and stumbled upon a decent doctor, but many aren't that fortunate. - Katy S

This is a not-like. It's also not really surprising. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

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. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

I'm probably really lucky that my mom is a doctor... - Kamilah Gill

I detest being patronized. That is all. - Ayşe E.

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. - Rochelle

same, rochelle, when I made an appt with the doctor yesterday I was like, oh so sorry to bother might I please have a moment of the good doctors time kind sirs!!! I feel like a pest, then I feel like an idiot for not being more proactive. - Andrizzle Gizzle

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! - Amy℠

I went through this - Lindsey is Fierce!

:( - edythe

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

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've brought you a gift..." - Michael W. May

Kevin, Yes!! - Rachel Lea Fox

Michael, "you remind me of the babe..." - Rachel Lea Fox

That's what she said. - Jim Norris

Thank you Jim! - Rachel Lea Fox

Jim Norris, everybody! He'll be here all year, and the next, and the next... Try the cheese. It's delicious. - Kevin Fox

I LOVE rainbows!! :) - Mona Nomura

Mona, check out Kevin's from today: http://friendfeed.com/kfury... - Rachel Lea Fox

did he take it off after he sat down? - Rachel Lea Fox

Rachel, eventually. We moved a few seats down before that, though. - joey

That is just rude of him. I would have had to say something to him. - Rachel Lea Fox

I think I was just speechless. It was so bizarre! But he did end up taking it off. Also, funny that he sat right in front of me. I was probably the shortest person in the theatre. - joey

It is totally Bizarre!! - Rachel Lea Fox

That guy's following *awfully* close - Neal Krummell

Nah. I was stopped (of course!) - Kevin Fox

Beautiful!!! - Rachel Lea Fox
