[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1508767, member: 408573"] If you took the case of 'I blame myself' to a Judge then you'd be laughed out of court. It is like saying all other medical conditions are the patients' own fault. When we are born we don't get a manual for life that guarantees the best of health. We live and we learn and that doesn't stop just because we become adults. You seem to be fighting your corner and overcoming some of the challenges that life throws at us. The dn at my first appointment said that I must have been diabetic 'for a long time'. I had one symptom (cold feet) which I had put down to age and sciatica. I wasn't overweight and didn't have any of the classic signs so it came like a bolt out of the blue when I was diagnosed. I don't blame anyone least of all myself. I cannot say that I have suffered from the same issues as you are facing but I remember suffering from depression after my fourth miscarriage. Mental health issues are a lonely place, a dark place and I admire you so much for shedding some light even as you struggle against disinterested HCPs. More power to you, girl. [/QUOTE]
