[QUOTE="smurph37, post: 1608488, member: 440232"] Very interesting posts - I too have been desperate to find answers for similar symptoms. On a daily basis I suffer with muscle aches and pains. Particularly neck and shoulders. I get burning pain all over on occasions as well as nerve pain in legs and up shins and hands sporadically. Frequently I wake up with what feels like swollen hands and ache up my hands. I had what initially was diagnosed as frozen shoulder a cpl of months ago - but quickly improved with naproxen so I don’t think that is what it was. I have brain fog every day - it has improved a little with a lower carb diet but I am still slow thinking and spacey and forget what I am doing many times over throughout the day. I have so many food sensitivities- I’m sneezing and congested most mornings. For what I eat my blood sugar should be so much better (h1bc is 53%) I had been on Lantus until a few months ago and got switched to Levemir x 2 daily. Over all I’m taking less insulin in past cpl months - sometimes I really wonder about what’s in the insulin. I have so much faith in medicine and medication. I have a corn tolerance and the pharmacists solution is to go onto a brand with maize instead (instead of cornstarch) - so that’s probably poisoning me too. Is there any corn derivatives in insulin I wonder - it’s practically in most meds as some kind or other of filler. In my case it’s hard to say what’s causing all my issues as I have an under active thyroid too and about 2.5 yrs ago I had a severe DKA (wrongly diagnosed as type 2 eight years ago - am LADA) after a cpl of years of chronic burnout with my job and active alcoholism.
