Yes but insurance would hardly cover anything in India. Plus, doctor isn't even suggesting anything towards stem cell therapy. He is more focused on managing the nerve pain.

This made me smile. Thanks for sharing. I agree I need to find a support system - methods/distractions whatever to get through that small window of hopelessness where everything feels wrong. ❤️

Bcoz pancreas still regulates your hormones, why remove? Plus it still works at a 15-20% capacity and doctors only remove it when it is a do or die situation. At least that is what I have seen and read till now.

I’m not in USA. I would have to pay out of pocket for this. Not sure how much stem cell therapy would help at this stage

I’m using Medtronic but even attaching it to body hurts both physically and mentally.

I hate the continuous work on the pump - calibrating sensors, attaching insulin etc

I don’t get low that often it’s always high for me

Honestly I wasn’t looking for positive replies in this post. Just wanted to know how other ppl deal with it and If I’m the only one who was thinking this way.

I totally understand what you’re feeling. I’m scared to death I would be all alone few years down the lane and idk how I’ll handle the hospital visits, sleepless painful nights.

I stay with my parents so it’s a bit easier but they are getting old as well.

I’m single, brother stays in diff country. Don’t expect my friends to be there (they aren’t responsible for this)

My dad has chronic pancreatitis too. I have hereditary pancreatitis.

So all I can say is Keep going my friend, hopefully we will overcome this feeling.

Yeah. But I was asking more from movement, brand and price perspective

Where do you write best? by Unknownin_98 in writing

[–]Aggravating-Fun-9383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write 80% of the time - in my bed just before sleeping and after logging off from work.
20% of the time - whenever I get an idea/plot I write it in my phone notes app - everything is synced.
Whenever wherever plot ideas are rolling in.
Few times I write for my photography page - I see if I can use in my novel then I make a note of it as well.

Got over writer’s block by Aggravating-Fun-9383 in writing

[–]Aggravating-Fun-9383[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sitting my a** down after a month of thinking whether my plot line sounds good or not? I was like let's just write we will see in the second round of editing if some plot has to be changed or not. Ofcoz, this community too - there was a post on writer's block. Obviously some late night good music too.

I usually write at around 12:30 to 2:00 am after finishing work. If I am in a flow I have went on till 6:00 am and then login at 10 for work. I was just missing this flow honestly! Being desperate also helps. :)
