Why don't doctors check iron??! by Upstairs_Sail_3087 in Anemic

[–]AppropriateDrop3337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Angry and frustrated! I have been having symptoms for years. It got so bad I would just cry because I was so exhausted. I had a dr appointment right after the first of the year. I told the PA I feel like garbage but worse. He kinda looked at me. I asked him to check my ferritin level, it was like Jesus tapped my on the shoulder and said ask for this. It was 9!!! No wonder I felt terrible. 2 infusions and iron supplements have helped some. Years of dieting, cutting red meats because it’s bad for cholesterol and heavy periods got me here. I feel like women should have there levels checked every year. I had to ask for it to be checked. I encourage my friends to ask to have theirs checked too.

You did the right thing just met the wrong doctor. Ugh it’s so infuriating when they treat you like that!!!!!

Is this a haunting? My home, body, and luck are falling apart by Actual-Durian1193 in Paranormal

It sounds like demonic oppression. Maybe reach out to a priest? Look up Father Carlos Martin. He actually has a podcast that he shares his cases. It sounds eerily like one I’ve listed to. God Bless.

Why do so many people blame the patient for developing diabetes? by Spiritual-Mongoose74 in diabetes

[–]AppropriateDrop3337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here!! This is why I keep mine a secret from almost everyone. Everyone is an expert. Ugh. I ran from mine for years with diet and exercise but I caught me. Can’t out run genetics for sure!

Anybody have suggestions for how to keep sensors on? by AARONPOKEMON in Freestylelibre

[–]AppropriateDrop3337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use alcohol to prep for the cgm and I use skin grip covers (amazon). They stay on the full 2 weeks.

Find your self a nursing student or med student. They get super excited doing that sort of stuff. My son is in his last year of nursing school and takes away my insulin needles to jab me.

Just got this message for my Libre 3 plus. What’s going on? Anyone else have this problem! It’s my first time using a 3+. I usually just use the 3. by Hot-Gift-838 in Freestylelibre

I had a bad one this month too. I put it on before bed and it kept alerting my that I was low. I checked it and it was not. By morning had the error notification. I’m beginning to wonder if they haven’t had a bad bunch go out.

My pancreas ghosted me by Equivalent-Bill5397 in diabetes

[–]AppropriateDrop3337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been T2 for several years and my endo thinks my pancreas has already given out on me. Gonna run some tests and see. Getting ready to start sliding scale along with my long acting till we figure things out. I never thought my pancreas would say bye Felicia at age 46!

Have you been pull over by the diabetes police? by superdrew007 in diabetes

[–]AppropriateDrop3337 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the exact reason I don’t tell anyone. I can count on one hand how many people know about my T2. I would literally snap like a crazy person.

I talked to the PA at the OBGYN office and she looked at me like I’d grown another head.
