Good morning everyone
BG this morning was 6.1
What an eventful day yesterday was two pharmacist diagnosed that I had what appeared to look like Lyme Disease from a bite on my leg just over a week ago,they advised I see a doctor straight away but has usual no appointments. So I was advised to go to the local hospital waited to see doctor bout 2 hours told him about the bite and how I'd not been well for last week he looked at it and wasn't sure it was Lymes and didn't want to put me on antibiotics that would make me sickly.
So off I went with some cortisone cream to put on it,then on my way home he phoned me to say has two pharmacies had thought it was Lymes if I felt worse over weekend either come back to hospital or go to see my gp on Monday.
It's left me in quite a bit of a worry has not knowing much about Lymes I've found out it can be very serious if not treated early so I'm off for a third opinion later this morning. K

Hi @bulkbiker
I've got my lipids results finally from my doctors so here goes hope the photo attachment is clear enough for you to see!K

 

[Granny_grump_]

@Goacher55 I cannot find your post but both you and Glenmac have also said I need to get another opinion so I'm off to see one of the joined practice doctors in our area this morning will try and get to the bottom of it. When you read what Lymes can do,it's frightening so I want to find out, do you know if there is a blood test that would confirm if it is or not,I've read there is so why wouldn't they just do that rather than keep guessing? K

@Glenmac all the photos I've seen on line looks like my leg bite I'm getting a little more concerned that the doctor didn't treat it surely antibiotics was better than leaving me without any treatment he said it was infected so why just give me some cortisone cream and then phone me to make sure I come back if I get any worse! The great British NHS eh! K

Has anyone else read Diabeticlibertys post that he is leaving the forum?Have I missed something?....it's on a new thread And it's goodbye from.....??

 

[ziggy_w]

Good morning all. Blood sugars today were 5.5.

@Glenmac -- yes, I have just read this too. I can't believe it -- this thread will never be the same without @Diabeticliberty. I already miss him.

Is there nothing we can do to convince him to reconsider?

 

[Glenmac]

@ziggy_w just feel sad,he brightens all our mornings with his humour,but can be serious and encouraging when needed.Hope he will change his mind.
@Diabeticliberty please stay,we need your humour on here.

Hi @ katen8967
I'm off to see this doctor at another practice in our area in about half an hour, but on reading about Lymes it may be too soon for the symptoms to come out apart from this bullseye bite on my leg. It's definitely changed again since yesterday even if it turns out not to be Lymes apparently it's difficult to diagnose I'm going to insist on the antibiotics has this in the early stages is the best of outcomes. Wish me luck. K
