Re: Plan/ not being devalued

Does Toni really weigh 500 lbs. and have a wart on her nose? Just joking

everyone has value even the negative factors in math have value when used.

Good one! If I weighed 500 pounds, they would have to roll me along! I am

only 5' tall! But seriously! I gained 35 lbs after I started insulin (in

only a couple of months) and I feel like I weigh that much! Que sera, sera!

Uhm, hello. I do weigh 500 pounds, 506 to be exact. But no wart on my nose.

And I do not like what the high doses of insulin are doing to add to my

bulk, but the doc has promised to lower the dose and add an oral medication.

Hi Toni,

Could you please elaborate on the neuropathy pain.

I have been having a lot of pain in my SI joints and down my legs,

especially from the calf down. I have been told that it *may be referred

pain from my Ankylosing Spondylitis or Fibromyalgia or from the Bursitis in

my hips. The more I walk the more it hurts. I was wondering if maybe they

are wrong and it is from something else because the codeine barely touches

it anymore and the cortisone injections in my back did very little.

Do you perhaps have any good sites on neuropathy? Thanks again for all the

great kids sites, I still haven't got through them all.

~~~Faye~~~

Faye,

I was not following this thread but I have pain in my hip leg joint like

someone took a giant nail and hammered it in,but I found that as soon as I

got my diabetes under control it went away,now if my diabetes is out of

control and I don't know it comes back. I did not think that what I had was

the intermittent claudication because I had asked the group about it before

and no one said anything, so I wasn't following all the different emails

The drs told me it was proab. bursitis,just a touch of it,but the pain was so

awful I could not sleep on my hips and it would wake me out of a dead sleep

and at the end it was like the muscle went weak and sometimes hard to

walk,but it has all gone away and I have to assume it has to do with the

diabetes. The first time I came off the med the pain came back within two or

three days.

If possible I would appreciate if you would send me the urls or links for the

sites,privately. I hope you get better the pain is overwhelming

That's " refurred pain " in otter-speak ... ) I sent Faye some web sites

discussing " intermittent claudication. "

I did all the *back pain* stuff before being diagnosed! In the beginning my

feet burned and would go numb. My legs *sparkled* for lack of a better word.

It felt like I had gotten in spider webs...Pain jumped around....like the

aspirin commercials where you see the synapses in the brain firing!....I first

used a night time tranquilizer, then Tegretol...which helped some. Now I take

Neurontin...which has helped a lot. I asked my PCP for a new drug I heard

about and she said *why? You are taking the best!* My worst pain in in the

end of my toe next to the little toe. (Would correspond to a ring finger on the

hand) But it is bearable. I formerly cried a lot! *hugs* Toni...ask for a

nerve test....
