Thank you for supporting me through this...I don't think I could have
faced it without it...I would have broken down...but it is more serious than it
appears... PCOS is not curable...there is no treatment...but it
is manageable with very strict diet control...this means that my
entire lifestyle, not just for three month or six months, but my entire
life-style will change...it is a positive thing in a way...sooner or later I
had to do it...I knew I would have to someday...but I didn’t expect that day to
come so soon...most women with PCOS are not able to conceive naturally, and if
they are, they often end up with miscarriages...it’s not stupid internet stuff,
it's a fact, a reality...but some are able to conceive healthy children
naturally...very few...I’m not overreacting, I am just stating a fact...
having said that, I am going to try and have a positive outlook on
this...this involves a very tough change - only olive oils, salads, vegetables,
fish, and skimmed milk, no chocolates, no fried food, no vegetable oil, no
cheese, no burgers or pizzas, no Horlicks, no cornflakes, no cakes, no muffins,
no biscuits, no preserved juice, no high-cal stuff, not a single slip, because
my insulin resistance makes it very tough to lose weight, and if I don’t follow
this diet strictly, I will not be able to lose weight...
the long term consequences of this not only include uterine cancer, but
heart disease, infertility, diabetes and many other diseases...I did not ask
for this, and I did not do anything to deserve it...but I have been given it...I
am not upset, may be a little, but I have a feeling I will get over it
soon...these consequences are not something I would never have faced, I might
have...but they came sooner than expected...every part of me is saying, this is
positive...perhaps it is, I know it is...but I am scared...I am scared of
making mistakes, I am scared of slipping, I am scared that I may not be mature
enough to deal with this...
it's scary, telling a 23-year old that you have a 70% chance of getting
uterine cancer or not having a baby if you don't manage your weight immediately
and for the rest of your life...it is something to be worried about...but I
think may be God also wants me to learn a lesson...life's not easy, and I won't
always get lucky...I've spent 23 years getting lucky, I was lucky to be born
into a good family, I was lucky to get good marks, I was lucky to get into a
good college, I was lucky to get into Accenture, and I was lucky to find my
true love...and may be I am lucky to get PCOS...so I know that life is very
precious...and my health is very precious...I can't play games with my body any
more...or ever...
I love you Abhinav Sinha...You were there for me when I needed you the
most...Thank you for that...
