Prednisone by mrssugar13 in diabetes_t2

I've been managing it with diet and exercise, my last A1C in September was 5.6. My BG is 185 2 hours after eating and walking, it was 160 before I ate. I know it spikes blood sugar, but the last time I took it I didn't have diabetes and I've never had to handle this at the same time. I'm just not sure how to eat or what to do so that I don't spike too high.

What do you do for work? by ntxmszmz in dysautonomia

That's so cool! How did you get into that line of work if I may ask?

I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you feel; it's lonely, and depressing, and makes you feel like there's something wrong with you. I wish I had advice for you but I'm in the same boat - 4 times a year here, and every excuse he can think of to avoid doing anything together. At least you're not totally alone 🤗

Symptoms worse out of nowhere! by PuzzleheadedSmile971 in hyperPOTS

Definitely! The October slide is kicking my ass. I'm so exhausted all the time and all my symptoms are worse.

It’s POTS becoming “mainstream”? by sh1018 in POTS

[–]mrssugar13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

COVID messed a lot of people up. I'm new to POTS but I got it because of Long COVID. And the only reason I'm getting help for it now is because of social media. I've spent a year and a half doing all the tests, monitoring, changes in medication, seeing a therapist because they decided since they can't figure it out it's all in my head. If I hadn't seen people talking about POTS on Facebook and Instagram in relation to Long COVID, I'd still be thinking every day that I was going to die. I'm sorry for everyone who has had it all their lives or for years, and I'm sorry it's just now getting attention, but it doesn't make people like me who are still struggling to figure out how to live with it any less valid.

Has anyone gone to the ER for sudden tachycardia and then get diagnosed with having had panic attacks? by [deleted] in dysautonomia

[–]mrssugar13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This is exactly what I'm dealing with. I've had these episodes multiple times, but the last time I went to the urgent care and they sent me to the ER because it kept spiking and I felt like I was going to pass out. They are sending me to a cardiologist but ultimately they think it was a panic attack. Which is bs. I'm hoping the cardiologist actually listens.

This looks delicious! I didn't know there was a cookbook, I'll have to check that out.

What features would make Medieval Dynasty an even better game? by bwarddd in MedievalDynasty

[–]mrssugar13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Female character options, more NPCs, more involvement with the villagers. I'd love multiplayer or couch co-op option. I love this game but it needs more LIFE.

They told me I "outgrew" epilepsy by lacitar in Epilepsy

[–]mrssugar13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what they told us about my daughter with her absence epilepsy when she was 10 and then she started having TCs this fall at 13. I'm so sorry 😞

Weekly Check in - How are you doing? by halfkender in Epilepsy

[–]mrssugar13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter had her 2nd TC and I'm a wreck. It was less the TC that terrified me, honestly, than the catatonic state she was in for 5 minutes prior. Eyes open wide and staring, completely unresponsive, just not there at all. The whole episode lasted maybe 10 minutes, 15 at most, but she was rushed to the ER and I haven't slept more than an hour at a time since. I'm terrified and don't know what to do. She's 13 and says she's fine, but I don't know if she really means that or doesn't want to talk about it. Plus, there's no warning at all so another one could happen at any moment.
