As I am sat here typing my legs and arms are going numb. I
have been searching the Internet for a bit and it looks like it is Peripheral
Neuropathy!!!
I have felt like crap for a while and asked hubby to get me
some blood glucose test strips the other day. I used to get them from the GP
after I wrote a long letter explaining the only way I could keep my diabetes
under control was to test. Then all of a sudden the receptionist refused to add
them to my prescription when hubby phoned for my meds!!
Just before they stopped me getting the strips they changed
me from Metformin to Gliclazide as I had some sort of allergic reaction to the
Metformin (bit like the Amytriptiline before it!!) and I am convinced it has
never worked. So hubby goes to buy them and has to have a stand up argument with
the pharmacist who says Oh no she can't have those only Type 1 diabetics need to
test!
Anyhoo he stood his ground and got them at a cost of £24 and
glad he did as my numbers were waaaaaaay off. Now how would I know and try and
do something about it without the strips?? So I have been no carbing as much as
I can for days and my numbers are still sky high (hence why I think the meds are
not working) and the fact that I have the numb arms and legs would appear to
confirm they never have!
So according to all the sites I am stuck with this now as it
is not reversible I just want to cry. Why Me?????????? I am sick to death of
being bloody sick and I DO NOT need another bloody thing to add to the list.
Just want to crawl under the duvet and never come out.
