    Steroids and BG

    Thanks Lazybones ... Initially my GP didn't want to give me steroids because of the effect on BG, so we agreed to try different oral antihistamines. But from past experience I know when the rash gets to a certain stage, I'm going to end up in Anaphylaxis and need hospitalisation. And that's...

    Steroids and BG

    I've been having a recurrence of my chronic idiopathic urticaria since early September. Intolerable itching that drives me insane, can't concentrate because of it, work becoming an issue, a body like the map of the world and a face like Frank Bruno after a fight - resulted in two stays in A & E...

    Whats the most annoying thing people say about diabetes?

    It doesn't bother me what people say about diabetics any more than it bothers me what they say about people having blue eyes.

    Omg summer gone... Spiders!,,,

    Well just to make all the spider phobes feel a wee bit better, I have workmen in today fitting a new walk in shower for me. They needed to get into my loft so I warned the bloke that I've recently heard something scuttling around up there at night. It actually scratches right above where my...

    Omg summer gone... Spiders!,,,

    Ooooh you just reminded my of my toilet spider in the last house I lived in. I'd just moved out of a house that had a washing machine spider. It lived under the washing machine, coming out at regular intervals, it just used to stand near the machine for a while then saunter back underneath to...

    Omg summer gone... Spiders!,,,

    Since the weather turned a bit colder I've notice a lot more spiders in my house, different sizes. I have a couple of regular residents who must go elsewhere for the summer because I never see them then, but this year I've had a few strangers come to visit. I don't particularly like them, but...

    Have you ever had mental health issues related to diabetes?

    Re: Have you ever had mental health issues related to diabet I know exactly how you feel. My GP last week shrugged off my concerns about being put on yet another pill, Simvastatin. My concern is because I suffer from angioedema and anaphylaxis, my skin constantly itches, there are meds I...

    Have you ever had mental health issues related to diabetes?

    Re: Have you ever had mental health issues related to diabet Ely ... before I turned 39 and all these hormonal changes hit me, I was the most placid person on earth. In fact I'd go so far as to say that the word 'meek' and even 'bovine' comes to mind. And then it felt like I 'woke' up to a...
