Thank you for sharing your experiences with me! Today we had to go out with a real estate agent to look at places for us to move. He came with me and we were out for a whole 3 hours. He started...
Thanks for telling me your experiences. As I've previously stated, I am not going to be an enabler and let him become a shut in. I got to talk a little bit with him today and told him it is my goal...
Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. My boyfriend has been seeing a CBT for his anxiety. He still refuses to take any drugs. He does seem to be doing better after each session, but something...
So if I wanted to know for sure and wanted to go to a lab on my own, what should I ask them to look for? Thanks for the help, this all came to me as a shock...
Blaaahh this sucks. Is it hereditary? Cause I know my mom has a hypothyroid problem and she gained all this crazy kind of weight. I don't want to go through that....
So having high numbers would make someone have hypothyroid not hyper? I looked at the stickies and looked at the symptoms but I'm not experiencing any. Thanks for the quick reply. I have no idea what...
Okay so I got my lab results and here's what they say: TSH Normal Range: 0.40 - 4.50 My number is 4.59 My doctor doesn't seem worried about it cause he just glossed over it. What do you guys think?...
Hammerman, when your doctor told you your glucose level was 6.4 he's talking about your A1C. An A1C OF 6.4 means that on average your blood glucose during the day is at 151, which is pretty high, but...
as far as anxiety treatment goes, I was able to take a nap today thanks to a mental calming technique based on meditation! already some improvement. Sorry was just excited and felt I needed to post...
Hey Ty, About exercise I may be able to help you with that, Since tame doesn't like me logging off her username I'll post here (hitam) It took me about 2 weeks to walk several hours a day before I...
Thanks for that. I know the info I gave was vague, but that's just how vague he gave it to me. I'm seeing my doctor again Monday so I'll ask for a copy of my results and maybe ask you guys here. I...
Hey everyone, so I had blood drawn as a part of my physical for the nursing program, and my doctor told me that my numbers for my thyroid were a bit high. I have no idea what that meant and he didn't...
Hi everyone. Ever since my boyfriend's been hit with his health-related anxiety he has not been himself at all. He says he feels a bit better while we walk, but other than that he doesn't feel all...
Hi Ziggy, just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I do not personally suffer from anxiety, but my boyfriend does, and I can just see the sinking feeling and the feel of hopelessness. He too is...
Thanks for your replies :) He is currently not working anymore because his job involves driving and he can't drive while he has one of his attacks. And as of right now he isn't going to school. We do...
Hello, I wanted to ask another anxiety-related question on behalf of my boyfriend. This is all new to us, his anxiety wasn't triggered until about 4 weeks ago (He went to the ER for feeling like he...
Fox7 and stkitt, thank you for your advice. We will be asking his doctor on Monday if maybe he can take another drug with Zoloft to keep the side effects down or a new drug completely. His anxiety is...
Hello TOTF, I just wanted to let you know that my boyfriend is exactly the same way as you. He was started on Zoloft for the first time for his anxiety, and one day 1 of the medication he started...
Hey everyone. I'm posting this about my boyfriend. A few weeks ago he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the ER, and that seems to have triggered his anxiety. He has a family history of anxiety...
I'm only taking one at a time, one is for attacks and the other is for all day. I'm on zoloft now and I really, really, REALLY don't like the sedative effects of medication, I never have and I never...
Wow.. doctor prescribed Zoloft, and Hydroxyzine. Laying in bed the meds feel like I'm passing out and my anxiety kicks in telling me "HEY YOU'RE NOT BREATHING" .. I really can't handle this anymore....
Took Hitam to his doctor's visit today. He woke up this morning to his blood glucose at 112. The past few days he's been consistently low with his blood glucose. He's been eating a lot better and we...
Doctor says my Blood pressure is normal, even when blood glucose is high, and says my heart rate is fair, around 82-83. Not the best but still, I am not sure what it is, as it happened to me on...
Well a little update on Hitam. I made him some chicken with tomatoes and a little bit of noodles to eat at around 5:20 PM. Afterwards we went out and we were browsing in a store until about 6:40 and...
Thanks Lanie, When I go back to the doctor I will be bringing it up as a serious problem and looking for help with it, without medication preferrably. My blood glucose was 111, and 121 this morning...
Hey guys, so Hitam came home early from work because he was feeling very light headed and "not right". While home he was just not feeling well, he felt extreme fear like he was dying and he was...
Today has been a bit easier, seems as if it takes a few days to calm down to a level where I can handle it. Still nothing good to deal with but we did some walking today and my sleep last night was...
I've noticed the same, and my biggest hit from anxiety is when I'm not feeling well (aka going to puke, almost always happens like that) that's the only time I feel it really bad, but even when I'm...
I'm only using rescue remedy for stress, which seems to help a LOT, but its the pet version so its alcohol free. Also i'm not drinking any caffeine. So far no news :| just waiting now....
I can say this, Working a job you don't want no matter the reason is going to suck, but if there is a will there is a way, and there are plenty of jobs that make money, not just LPN. However they're...
Don't take this the wrong way but interesting is not a word I would use (LOL) I've never been this fearful of my health and i know its not the diabetes bothering me. I've taken promethazine last...
We're not sure. I'm not on ANY medications right now but I took my anti-nausea medication last night, slept like a rock. Walking around today but not as often. Sorry I didn't answer your question...
Did some blood work today because the hospital is not working with my doctor. Still at 130 waking, but losing more and more weight. I am not sure what happened but it sent my chest discomfort off...
Ugh, so now today (11/07) he has started throwing up again and feeling extremely weak in the chest and overall weakness. His doctor has agreed to see him tonight at 7 PM, so we'll see how it goes....
Sorry for the no reply, we still can't get a hold of his A1C results! Even so, can they diagnose diabetes with the A1C? I read that it is still better to do the fasting blood glucose blood test....
I am actually posting on the diabetes forums, or rather my future wife is. this is her account. Thanks for the response =] Hitam...
Okay, just got back from the doctor's office. She's happy that his blood glucose has stayed under 200 even while off Metformin. She wants him to start looking at his blood glucose first thing in the...
Thank you again Sherrine. Thankfully my boyfriend is a big water drinker, so no flavors are needed. I think what he's missing the most are his teas (he loved Arizona's Green Tea). I hope his A1C...
Sherrine thank you very much for that, I'm glad to finally see his symptoms linked to diabetes. Hopefully if he does have a stomach bug it'll go away soon. He had a sub yesterday but in general we're...
Thank you Sherrine. At first we thought his blood glucose being at 250 was situational too, being that he was dehydrated and had a lot of red bulls. He told the doctor he drank a lot of red bull but...
We are going to the doctor again this Friday, but it feels like not a single doctor (he got a different doctor each time at the ER) is listening! All they're concerned about is his diabetes (he got...
Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I need to provide some backstory before I ask my questions, so please be patient and read through. This is my first time dealing with diabetes and it is...
