[QUOTE="Marcus1234, post: 1804645, member: 476626"] You sound like you have had an equally rough time and spent some time in hospital. This forum has been really supportive and I am actually feeling slightly better since joining yesterday. I've ordered my BG kit and it should arrive next week, I'm somewhat nervous about using it, not because of the needle to draw blood, but of the fact that it may lead to a doctors appointment, that will be the big challenge. I was reflecting last night on all the kind replies I got and what had brought me to this stage in my life of writing to a forum because I cannot go to the doctor. When I was a young teenager 13 I was a little tear away and was sent to an approved school for 6 months. During my time there I got really bad toothache and had to have 4 teeth removed, only had toothache in one. The way the dentist removed my teeth was somewhat brutal with little if any anesthetic. The pain was unbearable and I suffered for months afterwards. Jumping forward to many years later I got toothache again and was in agony, I would not go to the dentist and was almost crying with pain. Eventually the pain became unbearable and I had no choice but to go. The dentist had his assistant hold my arms so he could look in my mouth. 5 mins later he said "all done" when I asked him what he did, he said removed 1 tooth. I felt nothing, no pain at all. Since that day I have never had a problem visiting the dentist. I am going to share this with the CBT specialist. [/QUOTE]
