Hi I recently had lots of blood tests,[7] to decide if my medication was causing a toxic reaction to my system.Am awaiting results.Iam Bi-Polar and take DEPAKOTE.Side effects can mimic signs of diabetes.In my case have raised red nodules all over my back,ulcerated sores on my arms,and furiously itchy legs.The skin is dry and very scaly on my legs.There are numerous red raised spots on my legs.With my scratching,the skin on my legs has become thin,and is now quite painful.I know I am pre-empting my test results,and yes it could be my meds causing this .However,I am very tired all the time,pee a couple of times an hour,and feel very thirsty,no matter how much I drink.I get my results tomorrow.Just a bit anxious.My Grandmother was diabetic.Anyone with any thoughts,I would appreciate your opinion.
