Alright,
So this started LAST Tuesday, the 18th of October. I went to the ER, feeling like death was hitting me. Now that I think about
it, a blood glucose at 250 dehydration and possible stomach flu (unknown so far) had caused me to be severely ill. They put me on Metformin 500mg two times a day, and told me to hydrate myself. Hard to drink when you feel super sick. Eventually I scheduled a follow up with a doctor (that Friday) but in the end because of my anxiety (or so it seems) I went back. Same diagnosis except I got anti-nausea medication since I was puking my brains out. Started on it it FRIDAY with my doctor in the room. She told me I have a stomach bug and am probably pre-diabetic. I am at 160-170 on average. Ranges a bit higher after meals but not above 180. I have been off my anti-nausea medication today, but I didn't start making a recovery until I went BACK to the ER Friday night of last week (Oct 21) and got two liters of IV fluid in my system. Wish they would have done that the first time. Regardless my anxiety is brand new, and I bet its here to stay. Cant say i'm very happy about
that and I don't know how to deal with it. Its overwhelming and taking a significant toll on my happiness. I still feel "off" though, as if something in me is not right. I was exercising and working but I managed to not keep up with my water in take. I've been sipping a lot of g2 at my doctors advice (Gatorade 2) and drinking a lot of smart water for Electrolyte recovery. I'm till queasy in my stomach as i'm not sure what could be wrong, and the hospital seems to continue to delay the transferring of paperwork.
I haven't really found a story like mine or some one to give any advice for dealing with anxiety. But it constantly comes and it feels like a fluttering/weakness in my chest. I try to just breathe and ignore it and hope it goes away but i'm overwhelmed and I can't do this on my own anymore, the depression sets in occasionally and I feel like giving up to be rid of this frustration. Life has given me crap for two years and I keep my head up because I know it gets better eventually, Especially if I'm working toward a better future.
Also, I checked my blood glucose after eating two hour ago (for those curious about
diabetes) and its at 142. The last day I checked my blood glucose was on 10/22/11 at 11am first thing waking up and i was at 141. So I think i'm definitely settling down.
Thanks for reading.
