Hi Everyone
I hope the holidays have been kind to you.
I'm currently dealing with tonsillitis which I've had for weeks now. I've just about finished my 3rd pack of antibiotics and looks like I will need to get the repeat. ugh. My sugar has been going nuts. I've been getting a lot of hot flushes with fever. I've been adjusting my insulin dosages although not a lot of success as yet. I think until this infection takes a hike I'm going to be struggling.
I've decided to do the Optifast shakes to replace a couple of meals per day. I'm doing this because of the weight gain this year from all my medication adjustments. I'm not feeling very comfortable. Those that have read my posts previously would know I have a restricted diet. I'll see how I go... the main aim is not to gain more weight as I'm still increasing my medication dosage on one of my meds.
I'm also trying to get help for one of my medical supplies for another condition I have. The cost will be approx $7000 per year if I'm following directions from my specialist. I'm grateful that at least I get help with diabetic supplies. At the moment I'm not sure I'll get any help with the $7000.
That's the latest from me. Wishing you all a happy new year.
