Oof

The migraine went away but my back hurts so much. @pauleyholm finally woke up so I can ask her for a Norco and Motrin.

I ate a maple bacon long John donut for breakfast. It was so yummy.

My olfactory reference disorder is really bothering me. I have been trying to stay clean and wear deodorant and spray Axe body spray. But I am still stinky.

Today is testosterone day. Every Tuesday I get my shot. Pauley helps by filling the syringe cuz I'm rubbish. It's a subQ needle so it doesn't hurt at all. I haven't noticed any changes from taking it. I thought it might affect my libido but it didn't. Just another way to affirm my diagnosis of sexual aversion disorder.

I tried calling my mom this morning but she didn't answer. A short time ago she texted me saying she had to watch the boys this morning and now she's getting her nails done. I think she'll call after that.

My BG has been in the mid 220s. Much better than yesterday but still high.

My BG has been in the 300s all day

My fasting BG was 194 but 2 hours later it spiked to 306. So I took 30 units of humalog. Then I ate a sandwich. 2 hours later it was at 302. So I took 30 more units of humalog. 4 hours ago my BG was 301. So I took 25 units of humalog. I ate some popcorn chicken for lunch. I'm gonna check again in 20 minutes. I'm super sweaty and gross. But I'm sitting with @pauleyholm while she works... and tweezers her leg hair. I've got my headphones on so I don't bother her with my music. I'm listening to Miike Snow. Ghengas Kahn is one of my favorite songs.

It's been a rough day

I've been feeling very yucky today. It's my own fault cuz I ate 2 mini lemon poppyseed muffins, one donut, and coffee mixed with eggnog and sugary creamer. I also ate some raw cookie dough at 3am. My poor tummy is really upset. I got very sick twice since 10am. I know better than to eat so much sugar but I was anxious and stressed out about my partner being out so late. Now I'm trying to get my BG back under control. Except for the big plate of popcorn chicken that I ate for a late lunch today. I needed to eat something and it was the easiest thing I could do. I'm gonna go lay down for a while and try to meditate. I've got a #Migraine . My BG was in the 300s about 2 hours ago. Then I had my lunch so I don't know how high it will be in an hour.

I woke up at 3am and ate raw cookie dough, a donut, 2 mini lemon poppyseed muffins, and drank some sugary coffee mixed with eggnog and white chocolate creamer. I knew my BG would spike insanely high but I wasn't expecting it to be 470. I am dizzy and shaky and nauseous. This really sucks. I took 26 units of humalog. I'm crossing my fingers. My tummy is very upset.#DiabetesType2 Update 1 hour later: my BG is down to 401.

Panic attacks today before and after therapy

I've been feeling very yucky today. I woke up with a migraine again. My back hurts like hell. But I didn't eat anything until 4pm. My BG was at 146 after I ate cuz I forgot to check it before I started eating. But right now I'm very shaky and dizzy. I'm overheating and feeling very nauseous. I'm hoping what I ate kicks in soon. I really don't like how I feel. This #Diabetes BS is exhausting. I'm used to having high BG. So when it's low I really don't feel well. I have some sugary juice mix just in case. I think I will be ok.

Best pain reliever for nerve pain, that works?

It's 8:44am right now and im delirious from no sleep and pain. I have lipodermatosclerosis, two types of vasculitis and type 2 diabetes. I'm at a lost with pain. Of course the doctor has prescribed over and over and so far they hardly touch it. Nerve pain is so hard to handle. I am a recovering addict and I can only take so much ibuprofen. I also have cannibas hypernasia syndrome so I can't use that. Is there any suggestions at all?!?! I already elevate them, ice plunge, I am having trouble getting compression socks because I cannot afford them. I need the dang $20 a pair and over ones, cuz I am a chubbs and then they swell so i need special sized ones. Anyways if you have any advice please help. #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #CheckInWithMe

Ugh, how do people deal with the pain, lesions, and blisters of autoimmune disorders. I was unofficially diagnosed about a month ago. I go for my 2nd biopsy on the 22nd to see which disorder I have. The dermatologist gave me ointment and antibiotics to help, but they didn't do anything for me. A few seem to be going away, but more are popping up on my legs and a couple tiny ones in my mouth. The pain is horrible. I've been using fragrance and dye free products for a while now, and everything I read about what foods I can and can't have seems to be contradicting. I just want the lesions and blisters to go away. 😖
