[QUOTE="gemma_T1, post: 1839184, member: 473650"] Hi, I’ll be back 1st September. I could get a flight back but the only doctor I completely trust my eye health with will be on holiday in August. I only trust her with laser and she organizes my injections with a very human doctor as I am not the best patient to have injections in my eyes. It took ten different attempts the first time ... with all the older people saying it was nothing but I am needle phobic ... not great for a type one and let’s say eye phobic too ...it took me years to be able to have even just drops in my eyes without trying to run away [emoji23] ... I’ve obviously matured but still I have to have complete trust and patience and understanding to be a collaborative patient. They tried giving me Valium hoping it would calm me down and make me less anxious but it made me cry a river [emoji23][emoji23] no good for the doctor trying to disinfect the eye and then inject ... its funny when I think back on it now ... [emoji23] Yesterday at the eye casualty, I was amazed at how far I had travelled from the absolutely terrified to accepting all kinds of stuff in my eyes with a zen like bearing ... mind the doctor was lovely and instilled confidence so I think that helped a lot. Yes, you’re right I’m not going to enjoy a carefree summer with my family and friends in the North East as it will be praying on my mind.. all I can do until September is to get my bloods under control and try to stop these spikes and lows. They have been my downfall for roughly a decade now ... the Libre helps but it’s still tough ... and even though I live in Italy I have given up pasta, and many other carbs but still up it goes. Better than with the gluten free pasta though! Thanks for being so kind... it’s much appreciated! Best wishes! [/QUOTE]
