Hi all,
I'm back on the forum after a couple of years because I wanted to ask some advice.
I'm T2 (4 years since diagnosis) and have just had my metformin inceased from 1000mg to 1500mg per day. I also take Lisinopril for high blood pressure and the doc wants me to take statins for cholesterol. I've just started a new (stressful) job after completing a 2 year Masters Degree in August and I'm feeling tired ALL the time. I was recently treated for anxiety because I was finding work / home very stressful but discontinued the meds (with support of the doc) because of a bad reaction. I feel tired, a bit dizzy, have a bit of brain fog and feel disconnected a lot of the time. My question is, does this sound normal? I miss feeling like my normal self and it's difficult trying to learn a new job when feeling exhausted all the time. I used to be really switched on but now I feel like I sometimes struggle to learn new things and feel a bit vague. I'm feeling quite anxious about diabetes related medical stuff and feel like I'm just on a slow decline.
Surely this isn't how I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life!
I'd appreciate any support as I'm trying to cope but honestly I'm struggling at the moment.
Thank you
