Went to the Docs yesterday and can you believe it I have something else I have to live with...Type 2 Diabetes. That makes a new med and puts me at about 10 meds plus a vitamin supplement.
And it looks like i am starting menopause. The rest of this year is just going to be so much fun.
I will be adding links and pdf's with information about diabetes and its effects on women in general and the effects it has on minority females like Native Americans, and other such groups. This has me pretty scared. A lot more scared then any of the other things the doctors have found. My great uncle lost both his legs to diabetes as did my next door neighbor when i was in my early teens. I watched me grandmother and her trails with it my entire life. In fact I use to give her the insulin shots. I am only on pills at the moment no shots at this time and if i do things right i am hoping not to ever have to need them.
There is going to be alot of medical stuff going on the next few weeks. Cant wait to see how many good things i get to add here. i would really like some positive results from all this poking, prodding and cutting and such. its all worth it if i get even a little mobility back and a little less pain. I am not greedy i just want to be able to do things like take walks. maybe even go dancing again someday.
Ah well enough brooding over things i cant change..will just have to grab at the brass ring and do my best. its nice to not have an episode when i write though i am sure its more interesting lol.
