Yes for once something went my way lolGosh Ally. That was a stroke of luck that's showing you benefits now.

Have been to see the physio. I was given a walking stick. She is unable to help but wants to see me again on 16th October to see if the walking stick is helping. She is going to refer me to a community physio, personally I can,t see that helping. She also said that seeing a specialist physio who deals with neuropathy with pain. Only thing is, the nearest one to me is at Chelmsford hospital which means 2 trains then having to get to the hospital. But before that, I will have to get funding.
Was also told to gp about pain killers for the neuropathy pain. Then if gp does give me some, then will have to go through how they will interact with my bipolar meds
I just hope the stick does help me.Gee whiz, Ally, it seems that for every step forward you make there's a barrier in front of you before you can consider making another step in the right direction.
I do hope that at least the stick will give you a t least a bit more confidence.
My gp said if I need meds they stop it progressing. Not sure what he will suggest next week.Have been to see the physio. I was given a walking stick.

I'm sure they will tweak to help. It is very upsetting when multipal health problem need supporting equally. It's a matter of getting it right, for you. Sometimes long winded but definitely worth it.I just hope the stick does help me.
I see my gp on 6th October about painkillers for the nerve pain. He wasn,t keen to prescribe them before but I feel I now need something occasionally. Because of the other meds I am on, ie the bipolar meds, apparently they can react with the correct nerve pain painkillers so they will need tweaking. Can only happen to me. Good job I am relatively stable with my bipolar.
To be honest, I feeling very defeated and want to give upI'm sure they will tweak to help. It is very upsetting when multipal health problem need supporting equally. It's a matter of getting it right, for you. Sometimes long winded but definitely worth it.
I often wonder how my gp keeps up when even I'm struggling and I only have us 4 at home to cover healthily. They have thousands, sometimes.
Thank you for caring.I know it's easy to think the worst but no diabetic has every complication possible with this disease. Of course I'm not nieve to say 'we will never suffer any'.
Just like managing your bipolar and it's meds. Diabetes and it's meds and now neuropathy and it's med. You will rock this ailment just as good as you have your others.
For sure.
Luckily your good control will put you in good stead.
You can do this Ally1.
I understand.Thank you for caring.
I know I can come here and say how I feel without being judged.
It's the rapid onset of the neuropathy going up my leg that has really got to me, to the point that I am very scared
I second that @ally1 . A very very good idea. Once one professional is listening then others should follow suit.@ally - When do you seen your psychiatrist next, because he sounds like you biggest NHS advocate at the moment. He seems to be a real keeper.
It sounds to me like you're in a bit of a vicious circle of being understandably concerned about these unwanted developments, then reaching out to find you seem to be facing dead ends yet again.
If you are not due to see your psychiatrist soon (like the next, maybe 2 weeks or so) , then in your shoes I might be inclined to contact your psychiatrist's secretary and tell her that you're struggling with things and these developments are significantly impacting your mood, and therefor your attitude and ability to manage your T2, which could have a knock-on effect to the control of your neuropathy complications.
Sometimes we just have to reach out everywhere, in an attempt to find someone who will listen.
Stick with it Ally. You deserve better than your current deal, for sure.
I hope you realise there are lots of people rooting for you here.

Please consider changing gp practice if they still arent listening hun. Not all gps are the same.
Thank youDon’t give up @ally1 - I know you have many health concerns but I’ve always admired your determination on reducing your FBG over the short time I’ve been on this forum.
Just keep going, and know you have the support of us all when you need to scream, shout or moan. Thinking of you
