Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted here. I was diagnosed type 1.5 6 years ago and have managed my health with an insulin pump.
I started to feel really ill again about April and was diagnosed with Graves disease in July and put on 30mg of Carbimazole.
Does anyone have anything that will give me hope?
I could give a long list of things I'm feeling but in all honesty I'm just too tired, I feel like I'm going insane, my cognitive functions have reduced, I actually feel like I have dementia!
I'm still working my day job, running my business, taking care of my home and my kids but I feel like I'm just hanging on.
Blood sugars raging high, then 6 hypos yesterday.
I can only describe it as going to bed one day, waking up the next where everything is the same but I'm in the wrong body. With insane emotions which is just not like me.
Getting to grips with the diabetes which affected my body was one thing but this is a whole new level of strange and I feel is affecting my personality. I read loads of stuff and it sounds like a vicious disease (and feels like it too at the mo).
Anyone have any experience? Is this it or do things settle back to how they were?
I guess I'm just after a bit of hope that I'll regain my coping skills and be able to take control of my life again.
I've got a double appointment with my endo in 2 weeks but there's nothing like hearing it from someone who's been there.
Many thanks, Kerry
