Sounds like some improvement, Vicky - glad to hear it! xxToo early but I am tempted to call appointments to see if another scan booked. If I do I'll just worry over Christmas. I'm going to relax about it til after new year. Breathing in rest is much much better on pain relief. I think that's the clue. Breathlessness better on diuretic but more importantly on better pain relief. I'm just stiff on trying to move pelvis (walking). Back locked too. I can feel what's more affected now far less pain. Codeine is a huge help. Not pain-free but far far better. Its lifted my mood too.
Well done . XI'm feeling chirpy this afternoon!
I phoned for the results of my HbA1C test last week and it's dropped again to 41mmol/l (5.9%). The comment from the surgery was "Excellent control". Cholesterol's increased slightly (from 5.1 to 5.4) but HDL/LDL ratio has improved (now 1.6/3.2), and I've lost another 2kg. Slow weight loss, but at least it's heading in the right direction...
Still managing to dodge the meds - long live LCHF !!

I wondered why I'm on codeine and you're not? But read up on co-dydramol and realised yours are codeine based. Much more effective too.Still fighting Vicky @ickihun waiting for the antibiotics to do there work
It's a man thing Vicky lol my restless leg syndrome is back now stopped other meds so will have to bring this up again next time at docs did half expect it but it's back with a vengeance used happen in my sleep but legs are kicking out as I type not easy not dropping my phone while my legs are going for it lolI wondered why I'm on codeine and you're not?

Maybe I only need codeine as I've never took painkillers before this affliction. Not even for period pain. No pain relief after babies births either. My sister pops paracetamol for a sniffle.
Maybe its done me some good?
My appendix burst and I cried with pain before hand then I had no pain when it burst. I thought I was cured. Ha ha
Always been a tough cookie til just recently. Now I cry like a baby. Ha ha
Definitely nerves then. I've used amitriptyline for a shoulder and neck pain early in the year and it was very very effective. I don't use it now as codeine seems more effective with less zombie hangover. Very effective for restless leg syndrome I understand thou. Ask gp if any good for you?It's a man thing Vicky lol my restless leg syndrome is back now stopped other meds so will have to bring this up again next time at docs did half expect it but it's back with a vengeance used happen in my sleep but legs are kicking out as I type not easy not dropping my phone while my legs are going for it lol

That's the least should happen. I wish you the very best, always have.Thinking of bringing it up with my pain doc when see him in Feb to see what he thinks .
Have had letter from queens hospital today saying should get my next neurology appointment in next 4 weeks so hopefully get to see a proper neurologist and not a locum and finally get some answers
And me you Vicky and I know you will get there because your one of the strongest woman I have ever metThat's the least should happen. I wish you the very best, always have.
I'm seeing my endocrologist in feb to agree to bariatric surgery, need this weight off, any how. It will hopefully guarantee a longer life with my kids. Maybe less pain and insulin too.
Cheer up Johnny, patience! You have a life time in front of you, I am sure you will deal with the carbs in your own timeGood morning, my good friends,
I am posting to inform you all that I'm back at the library logging on.
I had 2 slices of cheese on toast this morning for an early breakfast and my blood glucose reading was 6.3 Millimoles Per Litre. I've been feeling really down recently with my Asperger Syndrome. I'm perfectionistically striving for perfect diabetes management but I always let the old "devil carbs" adopt a stronghold in my life. I seem to be total rubbish at managing my diabetes and I need to do something about it. The thing is, I really love bread and rice and spaghetti but in order to achieve blood glucose readings in the 4's and the 5's I have to eradicate the "devil carbs". Cauliflower rice would be lovely to eat, I simply adore cauliflower.
I'm still on the sweeteners, though, in tea and coffee.
Many special blessings to you all and so sorry for being so depressing.
Love you lots,
Johnny Baker, a person with Asperger Syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus and musculoskeletal disorder.
