Hi @maureen5752 I've turned into a right moaner where this forum layout is concerned.
Hi Vicky - I've noticed you've been getting great BGs lately - well done!Fbg 5.6 with no liver dump block. Too many nuts for a snack between lunch and dinner. I blame the rain. Ha ha
I just needed to tell someone how good my fbgs are lately but having tingling toes even on 4 or 5s.
I've ran out of r-ala supplement @eddie1968 which have definitely helped with light numbness on baby toes and insulin need. I was on R-ala 300mg daily and just 44 units of mixed insulin but now without supplement I need 60 and 60 units of insulin.
Mind u no matter how much insulin no weight gain or loss when it's reduced. Strange?
Carbs give me swelling and water retention. (Inflammation).
Looks like I might have scatica AGAIN! My pelvis is killing me on walking on my right side. Seeing GP tuesday evening.
@debrasue have you had scatica without leg or back being painful and just pelvic pain?
Thanks
Thanks @debrasue I'm thinking all kinds. Ovarian cancer the lot. Hoping just scatica and co-codamol management.
Hi Vicky the cold weather does affect sciatica,so not looking forward to winter. Think we will need to get thermals out. The cold now affects Ron with the arthritis. Hes very uncomfortable walking around the chiller sections in the supermarket.
I think it's perfectly natural to assume the worst when it comes to unresolved pain, because it affects us on all levels - physically, mentally and emotionally. But, yes, cold or damp weather can certainly trigger sciatica, along with a lot of other conditions like arthritis flare-ups etc. Warmth certainly helps me with sciatica - have you tried a hot water bottle on it? xx
I shouldnt moan as I know Ron and others suffer more. I'm thankful for co-codamol support. Sometimes it relieves it totally, sometimes co-codamol just takes the edge off. Better than nothing at mo.
A workman came out on Thursday but despite doing a thorough examination he couldn't find where it was coming from. He thinks the drains are blocked up because the students block next door is having some extensive building work done to it. Unfortunately he didn't have the right tools so he's arranged for another workman to come out groan! In the meantime I daren't put a wash on in case even more water comes gushing out, so I'm having to go to the launderette which is costing a fortune!
Put a claim in hun! It should be covered. Theyll allow a certain amount for launderette, because you are keeping the cost down instead of using dry cleaners they are expected to pay out. I know no receipt but be insistant. You will have to write and rewrite to insist on it. I'll help you, by direction if you need me. I'll PM you later today to direct you to whose insurance needs to pay out.Hi everyone, I've been rather absent from here cos of issues at home. Water has been coming into my kitchen since last Saturday but I wasn't able to report it til Tuesday cos of the bank holiday
