I'm a Cosmetology student. I went to school for about 8 months before the crap hit the fan and I've now been on medical leave for 4 months. I go back to school next week and I'm terrified. I have...
I take 1.2 units of Victoza every night before bed. I take Onglyza and Glipizide in the morning. My fasting sugars were in the 200's almost every morning before the Victoza and they're now around...
Thanks so much for your post!...
I apologize if this is in the wrong thread but this is where I found Spondylitis topics so hopefully someone can help me. If I told you my whole story we'd be here forever so let me attempt to make...
LOL @ applevenus!!! Me too!!!...
My deepest sympathy and many gentle hugs....
Good luck! (Gentle hugs)...
Thinking of you and wishing for the best!...
I'm so glad the sweats stopped and glad you were starting to feel better. Take it easy! Good luck. (Hugs)...
Nope, I've taken it off and on a lot over the years and I'm currently on it three times a day right now. Dry mouth is about all I experience from it. What sort of cough is it??? Maybe it's drying out...
Awww, yay!!! :)...
Very sorry for your loss....
(((((Hugs))))) Feel better soon!!!...
Welcome to the family!...
Yes Sherrine, that's exactly how it felt! I have mixed feelings on the meds so far but I'm only one day in so I'll keep an open mind before forming my real opinion. Thanks for the well wishes!!!...
Welcome to the family. (((((Hugs))))) Hang in there, don't panic, know you're not alone. We're just a few clicks of your mouse away. I was just diagnosed yesterday and the people here have been...
Just wanted to update everyone. My doctor diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia today. He wrote a letter to the rheumatologist asking him to see me before March. To make a long story short because I'm...
Bwfm, thanks for your reply. That's awful!!! It's not so much that I'm upset about the March appt, though I am very dissapointed. It's the fact that my Dr office said they were contacting the rheumy...
Welcome! (((((Hugs)))))...
Welcome. :)...
Thank you Robin. I actually had a Gyn surgery today and then right afterwards I had my Mom drive me straight to my doctors office. I told them I needed to talk to my doctor ASAP and they wrote me in...
So I saw my PCP last Monday and he told his assistant to refer me to Dr. M the Rheumatologist. He then told me that the rheumy would be calling me in about two days with an appt time. Awesome. I...
Thank you for that info. I wasn't aware of probs with Prilosec! My PCP put me on it a month ago when I went to him for a very sore throat and he thought it was a sinus infection. He gave me an...
Good morning everyone. I hope today is a relatively pain-free day for you. Apparently for me it's just gonna suck. Lol I have to go to a pre-op appt this morning because when I went last Wed for my...
I'm going in to have an endometrial ablation performed tomorrow. They're using Novasure (radiowaves burn the lining of the uterus causing about 90% of patients to have very light periods, some have...
My dermotologist said I have cheilitis and prescribed the hydrocortisone ointment. I used it for two weeks before my follow up appt. The derm was looking at me strangely and asked why my lips were...
That's so awesome!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!...
Yay Amber!!! Emailing you now!!! :)...
Thanks for your reply applevenus! I'll def look into this and talk to the rheumy about it when my appt comes! Have an awesome day!!!...
I just wanted to clear one little detail up if that's alright. A uterine ablation DOES NOT take away a period altogether. Only in about 10% of cases will periods become "bloodless". You'll still have...
All I can offer is a (((((HUGE HUG))))). I've not been diagnosed with anything yet, still waiting for my appt with a rheumatologist. I, too, suffer from back pain that never goes away and now, months...
Amber, Sorry for all the crappy weather and pains! I hear you about getting depressed if you don't do something. I take my pain meds at dinner time and after I eat I do the dishes, wipe the table and...
Thanks for the welcome and the post. I Googled it and it's not what I have. My tongue is normal, no bumps or lesions. It's pinky red and healthy during the day, just slightly dry. In the morning it's...
*hugs* I'm so very sorry for your loss!...
Ugh!!! Cold weather and snow!!! Booooooo!!! Lol. I despise cold and snow. I live in Maryland and we're currently having a very mild winter with temps going up to the 60's some days and dropping to...
God I really hope you get some answers and help soon!!! Sometimes I feel like as soon as we say the word "period" it's a conversation ender. Like everything in the world falls under "normal" because...
MT Lady, thank you for your response. The dry mouth has actually been there long before any of the meds. Years. I just found out about the diabetes in summer after the back pains so I wasn't taking...
Amber, I swear I hope the new Gyn is better!!! My first Gyn Dr. R was terrible. We were going through my "options" for treatment of my heavy bleeding, etc and with my diabetes, elevated blood...
I'm sooo glad to hear from ya'll!!! I'm keeping a "diary" of how I feel/symptoms I'm having each day to take to the rheumy. Yesterday was my worst day in terms of my body just not responding to what...
I'm glad to meet you Amber! I have only been researching my smptoms online for a little while so I'm not familiar with Sjorns? My dry mouth is very annoying. My tongue is white, dry, pasty and...
Hello everyone. I'm new to the forums, actually just finding this site yesterday while doing a symptom search and reading through some posts. My name is Tanya and I'm 32yrs old. I'm the mother of...
