- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
I would be quite narked too, mirror. Sorry to hear things have gotten this severe. It must feel like they don't know what they're doing, I imagine?update if anyone interested?
in hospital yesterday pretty bad. today better. liver and kidney issues. although originally thought acute liver failure now things improving in that dept.
not related to any of the meds apparently - due to the presentation.
still trying to sort out whats caused all the stuff and apparently they may never know why - option may be insulin overdose (original hospital med mistake)
cant find anything on internet about this. anyway - the liver was xxxxed but now improving, the kidneys likewise.
they have a central line in and all kinds of stuff going in.
things improving though. no insulin going through - glucose and dextrose to keep blood sugars up.
i am quite narked that i flagged up after the forum discussion all that had gone on at home and worries about liver function on the friday diabetes consultant appt - and although we asked for a liver function test - and it was done on the tuesday prior to the friday consultant appt- i asked about the results and was told that it was a bit off but 'nothing to worry about' and they didnt know why the episode of low blood sugars and not needing insulin had occurred but dont worry - its just a mystery - nothing really on liver tests and then suddenly into hospital due to severe hypo on monday and vomiting - liver failing
Does she have all the right specialists and are they working together?
And yes I'm interested in updates, and I'm pretty sure the others are too. Thanks for keeping us in the loop... I wish there was something we could do to help. But just know I am thinking of you all. I think you are doing amazingly well.
