She has polycystic ovarian disease. Thank goodness I have a little medical knowledge and was able to tell her that her symptoms were not "normal" as one Doc said. We found her disease on the internet, printed out all of the data and took it to a female Doc. She confirmed it with blood work and an ultrasound. But as you say, Docs come and go. She recently saw this Doc's replacement, the one mentioned above, for a referral to a POD clinic that deals exclusively with her condition--again, thank goodness. She should soon be getting the treatment she needs which will among other things knock down the weight gain which puts her at risk for diabetes.
