This is unheard of for her! She's so depressed. Not to mention, they are telling her she now has Fibromyalgia (much pain that they can't explain). They also want her to see a shrink. Since she's diabetic I'm not sure what direction to point her in. She lives in a small town here in Texas, and is about at her wits end. Lots of stress in her life too, so I know she's about frazzled. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 thanks. I wasn't sure if I should mention it to her since she also suffers from a recent diagnosis in the last 2 yrs with diabetes. I'm gonna send her some info, then tell her how to get here since we finally got her email working via the phone this weekend! lol. thanks again SandyE~Houston Re: Janie > Any suggestions? > > SandyE~Houston Yes, tell her to get her free T3 and free T4 tested.

Lots of stress in her life too, so I know she's about frazzled. her first step should be getting Dr Bernstein's Diabetic Solution http://www.diabetes-normalsugars.com/ since the current diabetic diet and treatment leads to problems itself. After dealing with the insulin/sugar balance she should have a better idea of what is going on and if there is anything else that needs attention. The current popular eat sugar then take insulin or glucophage advice often leads to weight gain and complications, blindness and amputations -- Best regards, Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com mailto:alison.ashwell@... new work uploaded http://www.artwanted.com/alisonashwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
