Not if it’s obvious and has been noticed before - I’d been expecting it. It’ll be ok in a day or 2 ( and if it isn’t then I’ll stop looking for reasons)
IT2S / Nolens volens it is. Looking for reasons is madness
The problem in the past with PPS is that in the USA people were being sued for dodgy vaccine use. There was a faulty monkey vaccine that was used both there and the UK which led to a claim that PPS was the result. It wasn't but the UK got defensive and refused to acknowledge PPS for a long while. I don't blame the 'boots on the ground' NHS for this, these choices were made by the govt.
I guess I should admit that I am medically trained so I still have many colleagues in the NHS that helped get PPS recognised. I left western medicine in the early 80s as I was disillusioned (and an undiagnosed aspie) and took degrees in other fields. One of my main worries back then was specialisation without integration and I recently experienced this when my ENT consultant checked my sleep apnea but refused to run laryngeal tests as she was 'only a nasal consultant'. I pointed out that ENT meant Ear Nose and Throat but she wouldn't have it
Can I just say that everyone here shows tenacity and joie de vie in the face of diabetes and its associated co-morbidities. Each one of you is a light to each other and the new folk that pass by. Thank you all for your stories here
geeful she sounds perfect what a little lady...I've just let Dennis The Menace & Minnie The Minx out for a couple of minutes watching them from the doors...then hoping they'll go for a snooze...maybe your mother and me need to swop just for a month or soKaty can't climb the curtains like Lola but she does like to play with the bottom of the door curtain in Mum's sitting room, it is weighted and she lies down and 'boxes' it to make percussion accompaniment to our conversations
Great news..so glad you got one you wanted..I have finally found a mattress. For purposes of this thread I will call it an InterSprung. It is made by Wolf, so hopefully it will live up to its ads and keep me from counting sheep.
Happy Wednesday, everyone. I'm for bed.
And as it's so far in the future, Have you considered the possibility that bonding with the Borg, MIGHT JUST Become possible, come the time that you really need to think such thoughts ..
I had considered options akin to that, such as volunteering to be a cyborg or downloading my consciousness into the web and creating the Singularity. I even considered volunteering for the one-way Mars mission.
The world is my oyster
Very disheartened & obviously a very bad 'parent' just re-watching 40 years of The Brits...got slightly carried away and blasted out a line from Adele's Someone Like You...Charlie & Lola jumped a foot high & shot off the sofa ungrateful to say the least...wait until they next misbehave I know exactly what to do!
6.2 this morning following another bout of daytime lows.
I received my official diagnosis for Post Polio Syndrome yesterday.
No worries, I have been chasing this dragon for 20 years. Back at the start, the NHS refused to discuss it and I sat on my hands and waited. Five years back they looked at it and said: "you may have but it hasn't progressed to where it is a problem".
Last two years I've had swallowing issues, blackouts, sleep apnea, muscle issues, fatigue, and, it seems, T2. Hospital had looked at each separately and refused to link them until recently, and now they have conceded.
Like my Asperger's diagnosis, I am quite happy to finally get my PPS recognised, not happy that I have it mind.
Now that it is official they also let me know that there are around 120,000 polio survivors left over from the 50s in the UK and there's a high chance they could develop PPS. Nice to know.
The reason for the final diagnosis is that my symptoms are progressively worsening and there is no known cure for it.
Anyways, final days are still a way off and I'll probably choose euthanasia as my option. Not a religious man so tots and pears aren't necessary, but I thought I'd share it as it will be a factor in my ongoing T2 and may have been the underlying cause.
Enjoy the day
I looked up foods with biotin and I realised that all my favourite foods have a lot of biotin except for Montezuma 's. My feeling is that if it is in food it is OK. The supplement I took had masses of biotin - which I think caused the problem.Thank you for that information. I need to look back over chrono meter data and see what biotin levels are/were. Also need to find which foods are high in biotin as I don't take supplements. I just hope tea, avocado and salad aren't high in biotin as that is pretty much my diet. Good to see you back in low 5s and that eye treatment less worrying. Take care
I should be fine then. I bought about 20 pairs after my last A1c. Avocado wasn't on the hibi listI looked up foods with biotin and I realised that all my favourite foods have a lot of biotin except for Montezuma 's. My feeling is that if it is in food it is OK. The supplement I took had masses of biotin - which I think caused the problem.
It will be interesting to see if I have another low hb1ac in March. If I don't - it wasn't stopping the biotin that lowered the hba1c.. Of course I did buy some lovely new socks before I had the hba1c - so it could well be the new socks that gave me the low hba1c.
Just done a short walk with Harry Saskia...my knee has been so bad recently I'd stopped walking with him...however the less I use it the stiffer & more painful it becomes so starting short walks for now...Charlie & Lola are in their room they're fine their new toys have just arrived catnip bananas & a cat dental brush toy for their little teethies.Look out, Charlie & Lola! ^. .^. .^
Nice to see you back again in your avatar. I hope Harry is well.
@SaskiaKC - I hope that the springing wolf will give you years of comfort. Howling at a full moon should add extra excitement.
Great news..so glad you got one you wanted..
