Thank you for responding and giving advice. I have always had an issue with insecurity and people pleasing, so I am ashamed of some of my past mistakes but I do have to forgive myself and like...
Hi everyone. I have posted on here before about my diabetes and anxiety. I have been feeling severely depressed and I am having trouble forgiving myself for some horrible choices I have made in my...
Hi all, I've had diabetes for 45 years (since age 2) and have been having problems over the last 3 weeks with bowel movements. It is really starting to bother me. I feel nausea and bloated. My stool...
I have had diabetes since age two and just turned 47 years old. Since September of last year I have quit my job because the carpal tunnel in my hands hurt so bad I couldn't take it anymore. Also, I...
Hi Stormlover, Scaredy Cat, and Jennings. I noticed Jennings you are on .5 mg of klonopin. i too am on that same dose but it isn't helping me. As far as Stormlover, maybe I will try the ecig as I...
I am so tired of this. Every morning I wake up and when I stand or walk around my heartbeat gets faster and faster, then I sit down and take deep breaths and my heart rate slowly slows down. I wore a...
Hi Lanie G, Well my primary doctor called me because she was concerned when I wrote her and told her I was so overwhelmed I felt like giving up. She thought I might hurt myself. I went to a...
Hello everyone. I have written on here before and have gotten a lot of good advice. I have a new issue to ask about or let out my frustrations. I have been a juvenile diabetic since 1971 (when I was...
Hi LanieG, Thanks for responding quickly. I just didn't feel like these were actual panic attacks. I felt like it had to do with my diabetes. Most of the doctors I have seen have all said it was...
I have written on here before about having these symptoms of anxiety and don't think that is what is wrong with me. I have been having these rapid heartbeats since December and get dizzy spells,...
I have been having these rapid heart beats for over a month now. I have noticed over the last 3 days I feel nauseas and my heart rate is up as soon as I get out of bed. This is terrifying. I really...
Larry and snoopy, Thanks for the encouragement and advice. These things definitely make you feel like you are dying. I am trying to do things to stay focused and trying not to worry too much about...
My name is Janet and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 2 years old. I just recently had my 47th birthday, which was very emotional for me because my dad was 47 when he passed away....
I recently started having these so-called panic attacks and they make me feel like I am literally going to die. There is no hope for me, I thought. I have juvenile diabetes and thought maybe my blood...
Hi Lanie G, Well, I had a doctor's appointment earlier today and he said all of my blood work and ekg was good. He said I am definitely healthy considering having diabetes for so long. He said those...
Hi MsOuchie, Well, my doctor told me I am perfectly healthy besides the diabetes. All of my tests are good and he said he thinks it's just panic attacks and that it's somehow psychological. It is so...
Hi MsOuchie, Well, I had a severe panic attack again last night and this morning I had another one. They are so terrifying. I had to throw up but had nothing in my stomach. I have an appointment this...
I was diagnosed in 1971 with Type 1 diabetes (at age 2). I have done okay considering that I don't take care of myself the way a diabetic should (meaning I don't eat several small meals throughout...
Hi MsOuchie, Sorry to hear about the wreck and your hands. Yes, I have bilateral carpal tunnel and was scheduled for surgery in December (a few weeks ago), but when I went in to have the surgery...
Your childhood sounds so much like mine. I did a lot of exploring as a child too. We lived out in the country in Texas by the lake and there was so much to do outdoors, not like kids now-a-days. I...
Hi MsOuchie, I think you texted me but I am new to this site and didn't know how to respond lol...
Thank you Lanie G...
Hi MsOuchie, Wow, I too remember those urine tests. Drop a pill in a thin tube of your urine and see it fizzle until it turns color. I had blue mostly and some orange. I liked spending time outdoors...
Hi there MsOuchie and LanieG. I am glad to hear there are others like me out there. After having been diagnosed with non-proliferative retinopathy it made me start to think about how much longer I...

I have had diabetes for 44 years and in September was diagnosed with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. I was terrified. I do have issues with my vision; I see spots and when my sugar gets low I...
Thanks for the advice. Healing codes?? Sounds interesting. I did go see a doctor earlier today because yesterday was unbearable, but he assured me that there is nothing physically wrong with me. I...
Thank you for your response. Maybe it could be sensitivity to the environment, but I have never had anything like this before until after I started taking the Lyrica and abruptly quit. I had two...
Initially I had been taking gabapentin for neuropathy but I was on the maximum dose, so they put me on Lyrica because they thought it would work better. I was on the Lyrica for a little over two...
I have had juvenile diabetes since I was 2 years old and was taking gabapentin for neuropathy. My doctor suggested I take Lyrica which seems to work better to him. I took it for about two months and...
I had a talk with my son's father and he is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with but he tells me that I need to move on. I have made some awful mistakes and he will not forgive me for...
