so I have this girlfriend i met about 6 months ago. she is a type 1. she told me she hadn' been taking of it for awhile... she been diagnosed at 6 years old. she told me no-one cared, so I told her I did and I would help her. at first it was annoying and frustrating at times for her but She could walk for a couple hours and enjoy activity. later on it became a bit much on her mental health... the pain just became too much... I didn' know and she didn't know that is was this bad at all. she told me it's been some time since she' felt her legs, but now she can and they hurt. ling story short... after over 15 hospital trips. like 18 doctor apointments and 4 months later the pain has travelled to her abdomin.
the doctor at first told her to to take some anti depressants, gabapentin, get exercise, keep track of her bloo sugar. her A1C to start was 13.0 now it is better but still. she now can' sleep, at times barely eats and feels sick, had to quit her job and is bed ridden alot. she does do alot of exercise but this pain is alot on her mentality. for the first time because she left town for a bit to see her mom she came back with some bed soars or cuts on her feet that I have been cleaning. any tips for that would be helpful. anyways.
so my problem is her neuropathy. the pain in her abdomin/back (which could be half stress). im not sure where to go from here. she had a tens machine but doesn' use it much. she used to smoke alot of pot but now only eats it at times for pain. we both don't smoke anymore. she complains Bout her waist alot, a burning feeling everywhere. pain in her hands, back shoulders feet legs. it's really sad. we notice about 200-300 mg of thc helps with a bit of cbd 20mg-60mg. seems to be the main helper. she had a bladder infection we found out 3 weeks ago but has taken antibiotics but I'm wondering if they didn't work and that she has a bladder kidney infection or what I hear gallstones alot on here...
I just want to help her in anyways. I do like everything for her these days when she cant. I need her back to being able to take care of herself. she's on ei disability to help her get through this but it's gonna run out very soon.
she was prescribed 100mg gabapentin but now is on 800 for the last 2 weeks. we haven't gotten that much results from it and the thc pills are expensive at times.
if anyone knows any tricks to reverse, treating, or reducing the pain shes in I'm all ears and desperate. she's had a rough life and doesn' deserve this. no-one truly does. I know hot baths, b12, vitamin d, exercise, all that but someone's gotta have some tricks to the trade here. I don't believe diabetes is truly uncurable. there's something on this earth for everything.
Thank you in advance for reading.
