Thanks Sugar Plum

I am feeling a lot better today. My body does not ache as much. And just sharing on this site has helped me not feel so alone. I have lost 13.5 pounds and my rings can fit again. I will ask my doctor about seeing a dietician. I wan to feel good and do what is best for me.

Thanks again

Aurora

You're welcome, Aurora. After I lost weight and brought my blood sugar down to normal I feel so good I bought too much clothes for myself! Imagine my credit card bill! Hahaha. I managed to pay it off. Let me know how you're doing.

Yes, John, I know how you feel. 15 years with diabetes and there are days when I don't want to get out of bed. But I have my kids and husband to take care of. So, I drag myself out of bed, do my exercise,and massage my feet and fingers, focus on what I have to do and struggle with the day. Keep myself very busy to forget the pain. You are not alone. We will walk the path together and comfort each other. This is a great community.

Hi , Are you sure you dont have fibermyalgia also. I have it and the pain you describe is the same as I have in my feet and legs. Sometiimes the sheets hurt. It is very hard but if you can get interested in something on the computer or some other hobby you may get some of the pain to ease up. Gentle hugs. Please look at web site Patients lide me to see if your symptoms are like thiers. Also check with your doctors. Hope you feel better.

John, I know how you feel, this can suck. But if you want to live and live a full life, you might want to forget the part about being cut out for this, sorry, my friend, but you got it whether you like it or not. Many people just skip the idea of taking care of themselves and the "D"; and pay the consequences. Many people suck it up and do what has to be done, and live better lives. And most are some place inbetween. I am glad to hear that you are seeing a new therp, I hope it helps you out.... This ain't easy, but it's what we've got dealt, so as they tell us women, "but your big boy pants on and show yourself what you are made of".
