Diabetes

All of my pills and injectable meds were due for a refill. Pauley sent the order on Friday last week. We got them delivered today. 2 bags, one had my 2 types of insulin and the other had 15 bottles of pills and 2 boxes of migraine abortives and a few diabetes supplies.
My previous PCP would shit a brick if he knew how out of control my health problems have gotten.
My tummy really hurts. I haven't been eating well for a few weeks. I've been eating junk food. I'm so depressed and I turned to comfort food.

Hi, my name is shawa143. I'm here because I need support in managing my own complex medical and mental health needs while being a caretaker for my aging parents with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

I've eaten quite a few carbs but my BG was just clocked in at 198. I've been very sweaty and overheated all day. I'm suddenly very nauseous with Chest pain. yay isn't diabetes fun!

I've had very low pain today. I had a migraine when I woke up but I took my meds. It actually worked.
I'm cuddling with Lux Alba while Pauley organizes my meds. My scalp is covered in scabs and seborrheic dermatitis scale. I'm trying to stop scratching it but it itches so much.
I'm listening to Amigo the Devil. He just recently had a tragic house fire and he lost everything.
I'm really struggling with my weight. I've gained 20lbs this year so far. I know it's most likely caused by my inconsistent medical care with my diabetes. I have an appointment with my new Endo next month. I'm hoping for answers.

Hi

I am 45 years old, I like to read, and trying out all things in the arts and crafts area.

I live DID and C-PTSD as a result of highly organised and transgenerational severe abuse throughout childhood and adolesence.

Also diabetes 1 since I was a kid, fibromyalgia for as long as I can remember but diagnosed when I was 35, osteoarthritis in knees and hips diagnosed at the same time, and a few years after I developed psoriatic arthritis (no, that did not make either the diagnosis or the symptoms of fibro go away, and you're not the first to ask as this can just be confusing)

So I am used to living with fatigue, pain, nausea, thd fun package of 'self-regulation' that comes with diabetes type 1. And chaos, hypervigilence, etcetera in the mental department. I've long made my peace with that and try to make tomorrow a little better by coping well today (and then there's those days...)

But last Autumn I got a covid-19 infection and developed post covid/long corona. I have been told by thd medics that my autonomous nerve system has been affected by the virus during the acute infection state. That leads to different symptoms for everyone, fatigue being the most prevalent.

In my case the symptoms are that mild exercise or stress can cause severe illness that may last from hours to days (pem), palpitations when I stand for more than 10 seconds (oi/pots, shortness of breath, nausea and digestive problems, muscle tension and spasms, problems expressing myself, problems with concentration, coordination, memory, focus, language processing and reading. And of course the fatigue which is FAR worse than I am used to.

I feel powerless and lost.

I hope to find some peers here who know what I'm going through.
