Not dead yet, though I feel like it sometimes. Tuesday was REALLY bad.
I've seen a doctor or done blood work everyday this week.
Hands are being bothersome and I really don't feel well. Work takes it out of me. When I get home at night and lie down my legs go all 'nervy-shooting-pain' on me. I have to take a Xanax every night to calm down, turn off my spinning brain and sleep.
My back doesn't hurt, but it's because it's not feeling anything. Other parts being like this concern me.
I'm on daily B12 shots for a week (then once a week, then once a month for life) and folic acid. Still don't know the rest of the test results besides the fact I DO have neuropathy and I'm pretty much fucked-up.
Due to symptoms I've noticed from the onset back in December/January but no doctor listened to me AND experiencing ups and downs while trying to eat throughout the day, I went to my main doc today with my symptom list and asked for a diabetes test, even though my glucose count looks okay. He ordered one that's not a glucose tolerance one but made me each then test after two hours and I did that today.
I start 'diving' after about two hours. I get hunger pangs within an hour after choking down food. I'm thirsty ALL THE TIME.
Test results on Friday.
See rhemo tomorrow evening after a full day at a conference, including GIVING a presentation. Have to keep her in the loop and ask about another prescription for Xanax to have on-hand since it works.
Went out tonight and got diabetic-approved fruit to carry with me tomorrow - oranges and strawberries. I have to prep and pack some fruit tonight.
Also looking at recipes, even though me trying to stand up that long to cook is going to be a problem.
Talked to a nutritionist today and told her what was going on, including moving history, what I don't eat. I don't eat bread or sweets, mostly veg, fruits and meat. The idea that I may have to choke down so much complex carbs a day to keep my blood sugar regulated makes me cringe. Insurance won't pay if I'm only pre-diabetic. Consultation is $70.
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
