Andrea replied to Iyaz's discussion 'Celiac Symptoms?' in the group Celiac and Diabetes"Celiac disease can cause a whole load of seemingly unrelated symptoms, not all of which are found in the standard list of symptoms. Anxiety and fuzzy-headedness is can definitely be caused by undiagnosed CD but they are such non-specific symptoms…"

Celiac Symptoms?
Hey guys!!! ok, so I had no idea about what celiac disease actually is until about 3 weeks ago. I went for my check-up and the doctor told me that my previous hba1c showed that I COULD have Celiac. He told me that the symptoms were bloating and a heavy feeling in my stomach. I have none of these symptoms. The only stomach related things I felt last week were a small ache in my stomach after eating which seemed to be gone within a week. I am now waking up with stomach pain. Nothing extreme, Just…See More

- Hi, I'm just your average 17 year old teenage boy. After experiencing symptoms that did not seem to improve in four weeks, I visited my family doctor. Glucose was found in my urine which therefore meant that I had to undergo a fasting blood glucose test. After 3 days of intense anxiety and stress, my mother got a text-message from the doctor. Later in the evening as I walked into the clinic with my mother, hoping JUST HOPING that I have some Kidney Infection my heart shattered as I sat face to face with my doctor as he told me "the test results show that you do have diabetes". Praying and praying that I am diagnosed with type 2, he then batters my heart some more with, "You are a type 1 diabetic". After I left the clinic, just minutes later, I was trying my hardest to hold back my tears. my mother, who hadn't seen me cry in 4 years was trying to reassure me and tell me that I was going to be fine. As I got in the car, I was sighing hard and then just as my mother began driving, I broke down. She was in shock and said everything she could to make me feel better. I got home for New Years dinner at my cousin's. My dad told me everything was gonna be okay and he also called up a diabetic friend of his, just so he could make me feel better and tell me some of the things his friend told him about diabetes and how it isn't going to keep me back. Later in the evening, when we got back home, my family and I had a longer conversation about diabetes and our new plans. I am certain that I will see a cure in my lifetime after seeing some promising research going on such as the Stem Cells. After watching the New Years fireworks on TV, I drank some milk and went to bed. I cried in the dark as I was trying I accept the new me. The new me that was no longer 100% healthy. I guess this is just part of the grieving process. I'm new to diabetes and I'm very afraid. I feel a lot more relieved now as my symptoms will be cleared up in no time. I can start my diabetic treatment and live to hopefully see a cure that will definitely cure me and millions of others who suffer from this evil illness. One day, I'll be able to say, "I used to have diabetes". I PROMISE you that.
Woohoo! Almost two months since my diagnosis. Sugars have been awesome these past 4 weeks. I am so happy! I can't even begin to explain. (16/02/2013)

Vrinda said… Hey Iyaz, welcome to the club :D In reply to your query, I don't want to sound like everyone else but it does get better, I promise. And yeah, it's been a year for me but I'm still getting a hang of this. I do worry about the future, to be completely honest with you. But why worry when I really can't change anything except eat right and take care of myself. Do you want to know how I coped? I had this major rant on TuD about 6 months ago and that made me feel heaps better :D Check it out, I'm sure you're going through the same.
And for now, just do what we all do here, no worries, just living one day at a time :)
Feel free to message me any time you wanna talk.
