Hi Guys,
Just wanted to let of some steam ( well someone to chat to)hope you dont mind.
Without going over old ground my levels have been very up and down mainly up in the twenties since last July. I started insulin in December, trying various ones etc. This started for no apparent reason so to say I am fed up is an understatement.
Anyway about three weeks ago my consultant prescribed me with Pioglitazone and also Pregabalin because I have pains in my legs. Since then I have become so down and cry at the least little thing. I cant concentrate and my work and home life is suffering. This is not like me at at, I am a 53 married mother of two and I am usually so happy and chirpy if there is any noise/laughing going on I have usually started it. I saw my diabetic nurse on Thurs and spent the whole time bawling my eyes out. She tried to get me an appt there an then with my GP but was unable to.
The long and short of it is, I went into work this morning and my manger called me into his office to say that he had spoken to my team leader and they were concerned about me. I felt a total fool because I started crying in front of him and I just couldnt stop. I got an emergency appt with the doc this morning and now he has signed me off work for two weeks and has altered the Pregabalin.
I am feeling so frustrated with everything and I cant explain to anyone how I feel. I think is a combination of the time my levels have been so up and now my legs are hurting so bad etc. I just want to scream to get this frustation out.
Sorry for laying this on you, this really isnt me at all and I feel a total idiot telling this to "people" I dont even know but I just felt as we are all here for the same reason "Diabetes" than you would understand.
Thanks for listening.
Milly
