Hi Ruth, It was my GP - and I've talked to another one since about the symptoms, and he thinks they're depression-related, and recommended just using painkillers. I'm wondering if it might be transformed migraines again, like I've had in the past, but the medication to prevent them made me even...

Sorry to hear that - that sounds like a pretty massive change to your life. Hope the doctors manage to help you start feeling better again :)

.Hi Barry, Nothing traumatic, no... but work has been a challenge of late.

I was wondering if anyone could help. For the last couple of weeks I've been having some strange symptoms. I've been having nausea, migraine headaches, sharp pains across my body, dizziness, tiredness, IBS flare-ups, and strangely I've also had weak legs with numb patches, and a numb tongue...

Hi Victoria, thanks - I'd never heard of using peppermint capsules for IBS before, but peppermint tea sometimes helps so it could well work. I'll look some out and see what happens. :)

32, I think. I felt fairly horrible all that day, and slept quite a lot.

Hi everyone, I've had chronic tiredness for a good while now - certainly since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes - and my IBS appeared not long after. The thing is, both are becoming a real problem, and because of those and the nausea I get from my venlafaxine, I struggle to make it through a...

Re: Did any of you type 1s have a virus before you got diabe I'm pretty sure I had the flu before I was diagnosed as type 1 - I certainly had the symptoms, anyway. It's hard to tell when that stopped and the DKA started, though!

Hi, when you say my background Lantus is incorrect, do you mean it's too high or too low? I haven't done any fasting or no-carb tests, no - I've got a heck of an appetite at the moment (I think it's the migraine medication I'm on) so it'd be really difficult!

This is a problem that's happened tonight, but it could well have happened other nights and I hadn't noticed because I was used to my BG being quite high (12 - 19), but I decided to do something about it today. What happened was, it started off today at 15.4 (about midday), and after having some...

Just wanted to post to say I'm another one having this problem. I never really thought about going to the doctor's about it because I thought it was somehow my fault for being inactive, but when I am active, I really feel drained afterwards and spend even more time sleeping than normal (I can't...

Those symptoms sound familiar... I'll call up my doctor's surgery on Monday and book an appointment for a blood test. Probably won't get an appointment for another 3 weeks, but oh well :P Thanks for your help!

Hi Daisy, thanks for the welcome! I'm not underweight, no; I'm on the heavier side of healthy - but not quite overweight. Could do to lose a bit of weight, to be honest :P (edit: oops)

Hi, I've been having a problem lately with feeling cold when it's not (as you might have gathered from the title). I'm sitting in my living room just now, it's 19-20c, I'm wearing a fleece and I still feel cold. :( I'm not sure if it's been a problem before, but I'm really noticing it now...
