Message: <blockquote data-quote="chalup" data-source="post: 1308907" data-attributes="member: 306126"><p>I went through what I was told was early onset menopause at 37. My hormones were checked and had suddenly dropped to post menopausal levels. From absolutely regular to nothing in 4 weeks. It is now 11 years later and my first visit to a endocrinologist and he told me most of my annoying symptoms were menopause. I said I am done menopause. He then told me that what I had done was premature ovarian failure and that I now at 49 have to go through menopause again because now I am the right age for it?. What the ?????  I was diagnosed with menopause and diabetes on the same doctors appointment. Needless to say that was a rough day. I can't say if they are related but I would not be at all surprised. This same endo went on to tell me that I would never be able to lose weight or control my sugars and that he was putting me on victoza while I waited for bariatric surgery. This despite a 30 pound weight loss and an A1c of 5.8. This was the first time he ever met me. He will never meet me again.</p></blockquote><p></p>
