[QUOTE="Mommayorkie, post: 970339, member: 37348"] hi bluejeans 98 and scouser 58 the side effects of the new tablets are possibly easy to sort out. im very pleased actually that they have stopped the IBS symptoms as they were adding to the food problem. now i can once again eat pork which is the one meat i do like, the odd pork pie providing its a good one ,tho ive yet to find one again as nice as those i used to buy(no longer on the market). and they are now giving me test strips.though like i said,they only want me to test twice a day... nothing has been said about it being only for a limited period though.as for my weight. its dropping off me (again i was told this would happen/. ) not that fast but i was 11st 11lbs back end of aug. am now 11st 6lbs as of this morning so 5lbs in 6weeks.as for walking. 1. i have not been able to go anywhere on my own unless its A to B in a taxi, for over 10years. i can walk as long as in areas with plenty of seating. 1 due to spinal spondylosis of 24 years duration now .2 asthma and COPD.so breathing problems. so even though i can walk its pretty limited. bought myself a walking treadmill a few years ago. could not manage more than 5 minutes and even then i went dizzy. i sold it in the end.i used to walk miles in my younger days.and cycled too. cant do it now.i think maybe a change of painkiller would help as co codamol has codeine in it. and possibly the dose of the diabetic tablet may be too high.. hence the side effects. something to discuss when i next see the diabetic nurse who as i have already said, is also a nurse practitioner. no ive not yet been referred to hospital thank goodness. would cost me 30quid return each time. or if I used hospital transport would need extra money to buy food with as they tend to pick you up hours before your appointment, go all round the houses which my back would not allow(those seats are not at all comfortable anymore than hospital waiting room chairs are..) and they don't bring you home till 5/6pm. if your lucky. i have a dog needs letting out, cant be away so many hours. i don't walk him (before anyone asks.lol.) i have volunteer walkers from the cinnamon trust who do that for me.
