Hi new to this site but been a type 1 diabetic for 27 years. Had no complications only been the last couple of years that control had gone off a bit , due to various reasons . But Ive always got control back !
I am a full time cater for my 11 year old daughter . She has a rare chromosome disorder , hearing and vision loss, kidney disease, adhd, behavioural problems. Am also a wife and mother to a 7 year .
So life can be quite stressful in our house. I've had periods of depression , anxiety and panic attacks . So hence the control can fluctuate due to certain conditions.
Anyway had a fall in September off a trampoline on to concrete. Nothing broken but badly bruised . Diabetes went out the window ... Not hungry , missing injections the effects of the pain .
Well I needed to sort myself out ... But my diabetes was be very unruly . Then I started getting tingling and numbness in my bum and thigh , I just put down to the fall. Started getting back and stomach ache. Got taken into hospital with what they thought was gallstones. Still trying to tell them about the numbness. Everything was fine and nothing showed up on scan .
I was still feeling pretty **** then just before Xmas I get rushed in with stomach pains again only to have a cyst removed off ovary.
Well since then I've been in constant pain , tingling , spasms , twitching legs. First thought diabetic neurophany due to 6 months of being uncontrolled .
Anyways they think is fibromyalgia . Waiting to see specialist . Apparently it can be brought on by stress, a operation , traumatic experience and trauma .
I worried how it's going to affect my diabetes , due to not sleeping and the pain meds my morning bloods are 13 to 19 I have no appetite . Am in constant pain , husband is having to do the caring role now.
Am trying to stay positive till I've seen specialist and my diabetic consultant . Has anyone else got fibromyalgia ?
