Thank you for your reply...I'll make an appointment with a dentist....
THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. Biotene did nothing for me except BURN my tongue and mouth. As does the other mouthwash that starts with an S. Currently, I'm on my 4th bottle of various brands and...
Hello, I'm usually on the Diabetes forum. But I went on some meds for depression and noticed that I was getting a dry mouth side effect. My doctor said it probably was from the depression meds. My...
LOL GreenBeans, bless your heart, I was joking. I don't think I even own any nail polish. Sigh...that's sad....
Thanks guys! Mr/Ms Sometimes, I'll make sure to lotion up my feet and polish my toenails, LOL....
Okay, so I've got this appointment with an ENDOCRINOLOGIST on the 31st. What can I expect? What will he do? Will I have to disrobe? Sorry, I'm a little nervous. Thanks...I'm just doing what you guys...
I got some D3 from the store but I'll ask my doctor about that. I don't know that I'll see him any time soon. I'm feeling much better now that I have those "little white pills" he gave me. And with...
I had my appointment (he never called for my phone appointment so I rescheduled, darn him) and everything went fine despite me being nervous. I asked for a screening for depression and he just went...
Update: I just stumbled onto this post from so long ago. Shortly after this last post, after gradually lost his leg piece by piece, he finally died in his sleep (heart attack) in a nursing home still...
I made an appointment for Wednesday with my doctor for continued high blood sugar readings and be screened for depression. I'm not looking forward to opening that can of worms. Wish me luck. I just...
Thank you but I think I'll stick with the wall or kitchen counter. I don't think I could trust a chair. I'm too big, LOL....
So you think I should add more carbs (within reason) to my diet? I was on Keto for SO long and it was great for my numbers but then it just kind of fizzled out. But the eating "habits" of avoiding...
Thank you for being there Lanie, you're the best! When I get up I take my reading and then sit in front of my window as I drink 2 cups of water. Then I go downstairs, do my housework and then have a...
I'm just wanting to start a thread about how AGE coupled with STRESS and DEPRESSION, (no work, living on dwindling savings, constant worry about our country, etc...) affects our blood sugar readings....
THANK YOU for your response! Personally, I'd love to go over there and help or have her come up here again. But again, there's the insurance issue. She doesn't want to upset the "balance" of it and...
Hello all. I don't know where to start other than telling you I've had to watch my daughter's ongoing nightmare with CVID (Common variable immunodeficiency) that just goes on and on and on. She also...
Thank you for your responses. I guess there are not many things that are as horrible as what our imaginations can come up with. It's just that we hear so many terrible stories that ruin people's...
Regarding the wipe-downs and such. Thank you for the info!! Healing Well is a wonderful website! I know we need to clean surfaces BUT NO ONE ever includes how often. My question is, is once a day...
Wow, what practical suggestions. Thank you! I will pass this along to my sister......
Thank you for replying...UGH I know it's far fetched to think that we'd need it. But you know California, I don't trust that "they" wouldn't go after us. I've heard too many stories. Sad, but someone...
Thank you for the suggestion but she doesn't have a doctor. She has insurance but no doctor that has seen her. She did go once about 28 years ago and then 54 years ago when my sister was born. Like I...
Hello all, My mother is a very unique person, due to a childhood incident, she never ever goes to the doctor and has a fear of doctors. She is 83 years old and up until about 5 years ago she was the...
(Diane, I am deleting what you wrote here. I understand you two are divorced and you harbor some bitter feelings toward him but the purpose of posting here at HealingWell is for support and...
He's on Medicare and Medicaid, one of which he actually lost. My son told me which one but I can't remember. He's also had Social Security for being disabled (He's got behavioral "issues" ,...
Sigh...So sad, ugh. So much has happened and new problems have cropped up in an already impossible situation. I had the police go check on him, they said he was okay. And then 3 days later he was...
This is really annoying! I'm getting this stinging spasum in my big toe that lasts for about 3 seconds and then goes away. Then almost exactly one minute later it will happen again! This has been...
Okay, it's out of my hands. I'm back in California. I've presented your ideas and my kids are ready to call the police and have them check his "health" out and his living conditions. So far, they're...
Hi, sorry I'm so late in getting back to you guys. I've made a list from your suggestions and I've shared it with my kids. THANK YOU!!! They're all adults BTW and I'm going home on the 10th so...
You know Lanie, I thought about taking pictures for proof but I didn't because I had to leave everything in the car (including my purse) so I wouldn't take "anything" back to my son's house where I...
Hello all, Basically here's the situation, my ex-husband is 61 and a total mess of a person. A TOTAL MESS! He almost died shortly after Thanksgiving, he was in the hospital for over a week due to...
Thank you!! Will do....
Interesting. I'm trying to improve my circulation too. I've got Diabetes. What about green tea?? I know that tea has much MUCH less caffeine than coffee. I really need to "take the bull by the horns"...
I ordered 2 books, one for me and one large print for my mom. Thank you....
Thank you, I'll order that book right now. I'll have it delivered to my house and then take it over to her. She'd be afraid of my dad seeing it and getting upset. She can keep it in her bedroom. An...
This is so frustrating. It's difficult to explain my parents to strangers, I also have to take into account that there is a small chance that my mom will get on HealingWell and read this and totally...
No time right now for an adequate response to 2 great replies. Later. But I had to say THANK YOU THANK YOU to both of you. More later......
She doesn't trust doctors and the only "doctor" he has recently seen are the one's he saw in the hospital that he came home from all screwed up. He refused to do what they told him upon follow-up...
That's a GREAT motto, if he's going to act like a child and demand to be taken care of like a child... I'll try to encourage my mom to "be a mom to him". She's just so hesitant to step up because...
Hello...Let me be blunt and to the point. My Dad will not listen to doctors, he will not listen to my Mom, he will not raise a finger to help himself, and he won't get out of his chair that sits in...
I'm going to read through some of the other posts. See what I can glean from there. I'll be back....
My dad is 83 years old and he's one of these stubborn (but loveable) ol' guys that doesn't like nor trust doctors. He's polite enough but has been kicked out of a doctor's office before and is one of...
MERRY CHRISTMAS...I'm not too worried. Chances are I'll just get a hysterectomy and get to miss out on Menopause, whoo hoo!! But still, it's nice to talk......
I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer on December 23rd (Merry Christmas to me!) and I read that having Diabetes and being obese were major risk factors for getting it. I have both...ugh. Is there any...
I like reading older posts...still good info. I can see where someone would be embarrassed about admitting they have Diabetes. Especially if they are overweight. My thoughts, when I was first...
I'm not big into that prick either. It's like a gunfire, LOL. Plus, I don't feel like I"M THE ONE IN CONTROL, the "gun" is. So, being the rebellious coward that I am, I did away with the gun all...
You wouldn't happen to know what those symptoms are, would you?? Just for reference sake. This vitamin "juggling game" is a challenge. I want to be healthy, however I have a LONG LONG way to go. But...
The Spirulina isn't a multi-vitamin, it's a blue-green algae. It's so cool! It's a NATURAL superfood that supports cardiovascular, eye, and brain health as well as boosts immunity and energy. More...
Bottom line, would the Spiruina AND the CVS package be too much? I see my doctor early next month and I'll ask her about any deficiencies from my labs but I'm just afraid I'll just get that robotic...
Hi! Thank you for asking. It contains... 1. Mulitivitamin/Mineral. High potency 2. Cinnamon/Chomium Picolinate 3. Alpha Lipoic Acid 4. Folic Acid 5. Vitamin C w/Bioflavonoids 6. Selenium 7. Co Q-10...
I'm taking the CVS Diabetes Health Support pack, which I guess is nice. Plus I take Fish oil, Calcium, and Evening Primrose in addition to my Diabetes meds. I recently started taking SPIRULINA, I got...
