OK. I am considering going to my np. I will let you know.
 
The main reason for less food is that I'm afraid of kidney issues.
It hurts every day now as opposed to frequently. I just want to feel like I can do something about it and the other things. Like when they go bad at least I can feel I did my best with the food that I didn't make it worse. That it's not my fault from eating anyway.
 
And the main reason for maybe not investigating the stomach bowel issues is
That I have no intention of adding more meds.
And I wont get a butt scope thing done. I guess there are other tests.
So it's like I'm going into it sort of refusing most of it all!!!
I'm not trying to be stubborn but I'm really already trying hard to take the meds I have to already take. A non statin, 3 BP pills, 2 insulins, Ozempic, pain pills for leg pain. Plus i try to take a few different vitamins.
I'm overwhelmed with pills and injections.
 
I rattle with pills for three different conditions but I'm very grateful that a. I have them and my life is better for them. And b. I live in the UK where my T2 means I get then for free.
I would like to avoid more though!
I definitely think you need a full MOT to check out what's going on. You might not be the medical mystery you think you are! And I'm sure that finding out what's going on generally with your health would be better long term.... even if tubes need to be inserted!!
 
Goodness gracious tubes!!

What is MOT?
 
It’s an obligatory yearly check of the safety of a vehicle in the uk. It’s often used to mean a full check up of all the basic things, blood checks etc.
Thanks
 
And I wouldn't be so against adding another med IF I ever felt any better with it.
Not one of my current meds make me feel any better just worse due to side effects.
 
Eating extreme low calorie won’t result in weight loss, your body will go into starvation mode and you’ll become malnourished- if you aren’t already. It will also alter your metabolism and you will need less & less calories to lose weight. It’s recommended that no one should go below 1200 calories a day

 
When I think about the not getting enough nutrients part of the 1200 calories I really am not now anyway. As costs are too high for me causing me to only be able to get a few nutrients now. Without "starving".
