Amenorrhea

Thanks again. I like the different definitions of DH.

Silver, I appreciate the links. I'll keep an open mind, but I don't think I fall into either of these categories. I am not afraid of weight gain, and want to gain the weight back that I've lost since beginning training. I don't have any fear foods or anything like that - just some allergies/sensitivities that result in miserable itchy skin rashes. Also, I do not feel a compulsion to exersize. I can go days without it and not feel anxious - sure, I miss it 'cause I enjoy it, but I don't freak out if I can't do it. Oh, and since being diagnosed with osteopenia I get a bone density scan every year and it has remained stable for the past 10 years, so the drs. say I'm doing something right!

But, it's definitely something to think about and keep an eye on.

I called many gyno offices today and all said they are either not taking new patients at all or I must have a referral from my primary care physician (who so far hasn't seemed all that concerned about this - I let her know about the changes in my period when it all started - she gave me a pregnancy test and when it came back negative that was good enough for her). So, I've placed a call to her and await a call back as to whether I can get a referral. Her assistant said she is "very busy" today, so it may be a couple days before I hear back. Sigh . . .

In the meantime, I'm going road bike test riding this weekend! I can't wait!
