[QUOTE="Teddysmum, post: 967036, member: 214212"] If I see doctors more than I do , they will throw me off their list. This year I've been for stronger painkillers (back problem), anticonvulsants (ditto), swollen legs, vertigo and nausea (caused by back/chest spasms) an ear infection and a skin problem. The lack of appetite is probably because of the stress and pain involved in getting a meal ready and the nausea caused by contraction of muscles near my stomach, besides not liking many vegetables. I don't think the GPs know what to do with me, as they tell me to refer my symptoms to my neurologist, but I only see him once a year (He's the head of department and very busy ) . I'm really down after Friday's visit, as he allocated much less time than on previous occasions, meaning I did not get to discuss my problems properly or even mention some. Usually he is very thorough and asks for more info.. He gave me the blood test results that I couldn't get from the GPs, as the diabetes nurse is on leave and they wouldn't release the results without her approval, so a double disappointment , as I expected my HbA1c to have dropped, not gone up, as I had mended my ways (but not as much as I could). So a miserable weekend ,especially as the food prospects are bleak. I really will have to look at the ' What have you eaten?' thread, but looking at the recipes on here, I can't see a single thing I fancy. Ah well,I will lose weight again, which won't hurt as I am over a stone overweight ( I lost 2st when first diagnosed and got told off by my husband for punishing myself, but have put on weight due to pregabalin ,which I no longer take and the inability to exercise as I used to) [/QUOTE]
