Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 hello Ken yes my doctor has put me on diaformin twice a day and they seem to be helping my level, i also do a lot of walking daily, we have 3 dogs and as we live in the country we can drive 5 mins out of town and be in the bush so hubby drives 1km drops me and the dogs off, turns around and drives back and waits for us to walk up to where he is parked, the dogs love it as they can go for a run without having to worry about having leads on country australia is beautiful i will try one day to put an album in and show you some of the country around us, we do have some lovely critters around here too, but you have to be careful when driving, i suppose you could say hitting a kangaroo here is like hitting a deer in america we live in a town called Broken Hill which mines silver, lead and zinc but it is starting to run out now and it wont be long till the mines die out totally cya brave > Welcome to the list, jeannine! I'm 52 years old and was diagnosed type 2 about 5 years ago. I take metformin and Avandia. Are you on medications? I would love to visit Australia some day.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 , I am 20, so I truly understand what you mean about people saying you're too young to be in pain. My own mother told me to suck it up, because I'm so young, that it can't be anything serious! I hope your symptoms are going well. Feel free to email me anytime if you want to talk!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I've been through all the sleep meds there are. There is Ambien, Ambien CR, Serequel (SP), Sonata, and something that they use in fibro as well as BP Trazadone. Trazadone is supposed to regulate moods and sleep disorders.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ultram did nothing for me. Right now I take Soma and Norco 7.5 and if the pain isn't that bad then maybe I only have to take it once a day but I have those really bad days where I take five in one day not one setting. So for me it just depeneds on the day what kind of pain medication works. But as long as this is working pretty well for me why change it. lyriczada Re: Hello I was first on Cymbalta that helped me a lot.. But I had to quit it Many people do wonderful on it..
