I will have to give myself insulin 5 times a day, plus 4 glucose tests. 9 pricks a day.
Can’t eat anything without pain or diarrhea and have an appointment with a gastroenterologist.

I get the external kind thankfully. Under my breasts and the belly rolls. The area is always damp there.

Not only that I am suffering bad stomach problems which I finally had to use the Zofran for nausea. I get pains after eating.
I am sleeping better with just the Antidepressant Remeron, but not as well as the first 2 days. I slept last night from 12 midnight to 5 AM this morning. Finally decided to get up since I am not tired or groggy. The sleep aids always made me so groggy all day I stayed in bed.
Ooops lost my focus and forgot what I was doing. My stomach has hurt for hours now. At least the pains are lessening.
Tomorrow I see the endocrinologist and see what his next brainy idea is. Nothing working so far,

This antidepressant remeron is supposed to be a sedative too. Always a problem for me because I react the opposite. I wanted to stop, but she had forgotten that I take an OTC sleep aid and at a high dose. She made me double my dose of antidepressant and stop the OTC sleep aid. I have been up all night to late morning, early after aftersoon since I have been taking the the sleep aids with the new antidepressant.
I was shocked. I fell asleep early last night, slept all night to mid afternoon when my son woke me up. Maybe she was right. I have to let her know how it goes last night and the next few days because I will need a new prescription since I will run out doubling them.
I am also back on another antibiotic, cough pearls, a steroid and a rescue inhaler for the wheezing, sore throat, terrible cough and congestion in my chest.
I am so tired of this.

I was just reading a site that said only WordPress blogs give ping backs. Mine used to a long time ago, but now my blogs are both using their own domains. So now I know why I can no longer do a pingback.

I needed a ride to therapy today since I lent my car to my son since his is in the shop and he had to go to work.
I write a thorough journal for her to read and it is exactly how I am feeling. Makes our sessions better.
My fasting sugar was 348 when I got up. Expected it to be high, but not quite that high. Endocrinologist has me on very little medicine and it didn’t work when my PCP put me on it and it doesn’t work now, plus he eliminated one.
New antidepressant is not letting me sleep, but she just told me to stay on it. She wants me on it for a few weeks, at least 2 weeks. She is expecting it to change and it is making me somewhat suicidal in thoughts. I don’t care if the world ends tomorrow.
I hate the fact that I have lost my major interest in my blogs. I would rather sleep (like that is happening with this new antidepressant). It is hard to build a blog when you have lost interest. I remember my thrill in the beginning. This one is over 2 years old. My writing blog is over several years older.

I just can’t win. I am wheezing pretty bad and the inhaler is only giving me mild relief. This started yesterday and I was just at the drs on Friday, the pulmonary doctor, and he said my lungs were clear. Stopping the BiPap machine. Not working.
I couldn’t sleep last night. New antidepressant is supposed to be a sedative for most people. I should have known this would happen. I react the opposite to most medications. Still too early to try and see if it will help the Bipolar Depression.
I forgot to check my blood sugars this morning. They are high daily now since he didn’t try a new medication. I am on the same old oral meds that didn’t work before and he took one away.
Lousy Memorial Day – rainy, dark and chilly.
We didn’t go to the township’s barbeque that they hold free every Memorial Day.
