[QUOTE="gazzab, post: 1635800, member: 116322"] Hi I'm Gary, aged 48 type 2 of 15 years. A little about me I am separated for 24 months live with my son who is 15. I have a few complications of diabetes these are ED peripheral neuropathy in feet and hands. I was very recently diagnosed as suffering anxiety depression. I also suffer from shin problems knee problems lower back pain frozen shoulders and neck pain. I was prescribed with metformin for many years then Lantus painkillers and brufen anti-inflammatory, I am waiting for surgery on my shoulders. Recently a doctors appointment the GP said to me why aren't you taking medication, to which I replied I honestly don't care. She asked me if I was suicidal which when I thought about it I am not, don't get me wrong if I was in the middle of the road crossing and a car came speeding to me I wouldn't leap out of its way, but I wouldn't jump from the pavement in front of a speeding car. I am in constant pain from feet and no tablets have helped with that, this was why i was seeing my GP, from our conversation she diagnosed me with anxiety depression but has said before I go on tablets (which I wouldn't take anyway) she has requested that I be visited at home by therapists to help me, once she is happy I am taking tablets she then says she wants to address diabetes and complications. I can understand why she said this as I probably wouldn't take the tablets anyway. My GP also recommended this site as a safe none judgmental site where I can talk to people who have probably suffered/suffering the same things, so here I am and hi btw [/QUOTE]
