Really? We all have same diagnosis and still, we all are being experimented on with different kinds of meds? How come? If it has a name - idiopathic hirsutism, it would have a definition and possible treatments. Why dont they just say: unknown? Why did my third endo in a month told me cyproterone i've been taking for a year is destructive for my bones and spiro, that some of us, cough cough, have been taking for a year, can kill me (just because of spiro itself, no other reasons involed) and then suggest a PILL (diane 35) that actually puts me in a hospital after a week of taking it. Then Another doctor says, cypro and a pill, any pill, can damage whole hormonal system (and then i read that you would have to go on birth control with cypro.) After that, another doctor puts me on yasmin that i agree to take only because it lessens the period pain (they said, i havent had period for a year now), (when i suggest spiro, they laugh at me); after a month taking it, my boobs hurt soo much, i cant wear any clothes on without feeling pain, my body hair are back on full strenght and my head hair fall out in hundreds. They dont know. They dont have a clue. I dont want to have to see any of them again. Im just gonna like myself, thats what im gonna do.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783426935704298424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791101537367433738.post-63898366311406958482010-09-27T22:33:25.851-06:002010-09-27T22:33:25.851-06:00"Idiopathic just means they don't know.&q..."Idiopathic just means they don't know." I've read that before. I'm just trying not to think of it that way.<br /><br />I mean, when you've been tested for and don't show signs of anything else, what is there left to test? And how can you really explain why someone's skin is that sensitive to regular hormones in their blood? I do hope there are doctors out there who are still questioning, but with so many other diseases and things out there, I'm not expecting it to get much research.<br /><br />We are truly a mystery, I guess. :DAllerleirahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07913518795446410491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791101537367433738.post-5295023673211853392010-09-27T22:02:27.221-06:002010-09-27T22:02:27.221-06:00Idiopathic hirsutism.

Her doc took one look at my hairy arms and scoffed at my other endo's explanation. "Idiopathic just means they don't know. *I* could find the cause," she said. Well, that doc is in the next state and I don't have health coverage so I can't afford to keep on experimenting right now. I guess I'll just have to keep wondering. I still think it's radiation poisoning that caused mine.Becky Framehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962268347520900807noreply@blogger.com
