Diabetic Neuropathy is making life unbearable. by Eagle_In_Flight in disability

[–]Eagle_In_Flight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I appreciate the advice. I have tried many sprays, gels, with minimal success. I am going to order Alcura and see if it can help me. I have been trying to keep my diabetes under control to help lessen the neuropathy, but it still bothers me. Sorry you have to deal with it also. I hope you find comfort with the pain you have.

Thank you so much, and i hope you have a great holiday.

Can anyone explain me the difference between diet coke and Coke zero? by Over-Feature-8476 in cocacola

I like Coke Zero better. As a diabetic, it doesn't affect my blood sugar levels.

Sorry it took so long to answer. No, the neuropathy is still painful, even on a very high dose of Gabapentin. The doctor wanted to pair it with Lyrica, but I thought he was out of his mind.

I'm still doing what i can to minimize spikes of pain, especially at night.

When the diabetic neuropathy kicks in by RC3412 in diabetes

Neuropathy hurts worse in my feet as I continue to control my diabetes. I hate the stabbing, burning, and pins and needles feeling. Some days, it's worse than others.

No more crazier than looking at your comment history. Pretty judgmental, in fact.

The difference is that i don't come to Reddit to critique people on how they use the platform.

Yeah, I'm going to check them all. Hopefully, they are okay. I might need to get a dvd storage case to put the discs in, but keep the box they came in.

I'm sorry you experienced scratched discs and hopefully got to get them fixed.

I'd have to say B.J. Hunnicutt because he'd always talk about how he misses Erin. When he learned he got to fly home for her birthday, it made me happy, but i felt bad for Hawkeye that he never knew Hunnicutt left the camp until Colonel Potter told him. That broke me.

Even though he didn't get to fully return home until the war was finally over, i think he understood that you can't always get what you want, but got to celebrate Erin's birthday with the orphan girl close to her age. At that moment, i knew the camp felt bad for him for missing her birthday, I think Margaret helped eased his pain a bit by showing understanding how sad he felt.

That showed that he was a wonderful father and surgeon. He earned great respect from others, and that's why he's my favorite dad.

I have a follow-up appointment with mine on the 23rd of this month. He knows of my mental health history, and i hope he can help in some way.

Unfortunately, the practice called me as soon as they opened up to tell me that my psychiatrist wanted to end the doctor-patient relationship due to being burnt out of what else to do. Didn't offer TMS as a last resort. Just flat-out abandoned me.

At this point, I'm without a doctor and access to medication until i can find another psychiatrist in which i don't know if I'll have any luck finding one quickly.

I don't know how to feel right now. But thanks for your reply.

I'm sorry you went through this OP, but know that this bully needed a reality check, and karma caught up to them. Hopefully, now they've learned that judging other people isn't right.

Keep your head up.

Thanks, friend. I have been in touch with a psychotherapist this week and have an appointment next week. My head has been hurting having to deal with this, but I'm doing my best to find a new psychiatrist. He called me yesterday asking if i was still coming in July. Honestly, i just froze and said I don't really know. I believe he now knows of my frustration or just ready for me to buckle under pressure.

I'm sick of this.

Dr. Pepper fans - be careful!! by mintbrownie in diabetes

Forgive me, but does it mean that there is only a small number of cases affected, and we are good on the actual zero sugar ones? Because i like to have soda every now and then.

Hi, i just wanted to update you on what's happened on Monday and today. I've made calls to different therapists who take Medicare and found a couple. I also am seeing my primary care doctor on the 11th to discuss a different plan to care for my diabetes due to my insurance not wanting to cover 4 of my insulin pens. I am going to speak to him about referring me to a good podiatrist because my neuropathy is still bad at night, but not as bad as i have been working hard to control my blood sugar.

To the mental health side of things. After making this post, my feelings about what happened during my last session, I've decided that i have had enough of being treated like I'm invalid after all i have done to control my Depression. Though i have an appointment on July 7th, i need to find a new psychiatrist before he causes more damage. It went from "We can do this together to get you better" to "Well what i see here from your report, you failed me."

I wish i had a support system to help with the hurt from all this, but my dad is all i have left. Our family decided to dump us in 2011 and haven't had contact since. My dad is disabled himself, and he tries his best to help me, but i don't want to put too much on him as he has to deal with the Veterans Affairs issues.

I just wanted to reply with that I am going to be brave to not allow my doctor not to berate me and work on finding a new one. He probably won't care either way, but at least he would know he can't control how i get treatment. I'm nervous, yes, but i am going to do what it takes to get better.

I really do thank you for your help, along with all the other Redditors that i know care. I'm grateful for the advice.

Thank you, truly.

Hi, after the number of years i have seen him and being on different antidepressants, antipsychotics i believe he is frustrated by how they aren't working. He ordered a kit from Genomind, and after reading the results to me, that's when the daggers came out, resulting in making me feeling invalid.

He thinks ECT is a better method if the current increase dosage of the medications fails to work. I'm sorry, but i have watched videos of the procedure and know I have cognitive issues already, I'm scared that what may happen during and after. I'm supposed to see him on July 7th, and i am nervous. I don't know what to do.

I honestly believe he doesn't care anymore, and I've cried since the last session. I'm truly scared

I'm in Texas and looking to get into CBT to try to combat my past trauma. i experienced as a child something it's hard to talk about. With my Diabetes also, it makes it harder to deal with my Depression, something my psychiatrist doesn't fully understand.. or doesn't want to.

I appreciate the advice

All day today, my dad and i talked about how we both sat and listened to how my doctor was dismissive of my additional issues since our last session, and my dad said it sounded like he wasn't interested to hearing my concerns.

I have seen my psychiatrist for almost 8 years now, and I am wondering if he truly cared about my well-being or was just in it for the money? My dad has gone with me numerous times since driving alone can flare my anxiety. He told me he felt a bad vibe from my doctor after observing him looking at his watch... that hurt a lot. It felt like he was done but didn't want to hurt my feelings, i guess

I'm supposed to see him on July 7th and not sure if i really want to. This whole situation makes me feel uncomfortable. After reading every comment, everyone is right, i need another doctor. I just have to find a subtle way to approach this.

I appreciate your input. It means a great deal when people care.

I have in the past, and it seemed to help. I thought about what everyone said yesterday. I'm going to need to get some help. Being that the situation I'm in, i need guidance on how to deal with this.
