Tired
October 3, 2008 11:57am
I sit here all alone
I want to go home.
I ask myself who can I call?
Then realize, no one at all!
As time slips by fast as a tick,
My life fades …

About Me
I am 33 years old, and although I do not have PKU, I do have a metabolic disorder. I work in a specialty pharmacy where I am the director of the PKU department. I have over 100 patients who rely on me to get them their foods, and formula's. I deal directly with the companies to get this done. The patient never has to worry about paperwork. I do it all. I am married,with no children. I love to read and take long walks with my dog. My philosophy is live as if tomorrow will be your last tomorrow!

Close Diabetes Type 2
33 yr old female. On insulin pump since feb. i started walking August 2 of 08, It is now September 30, I have lost 22 lbs. My glucose went from running in the 4 and 5 hundreds all the time to not going over 190. I am even having lows now. Something I have never done before!
Treatments
- Insulin Pump Working / Worked
- I love being on the pump. My husband does not like it, he says it seems like it would hurt, this is untrue! The only side effects I had were as follows- freedom to actually eat, and do things without having to take 9 shots a day! ( I was on 3 different types) and I did have some weight gain from the initial pump start up. I gained 35 pounds from February to August. But I have learned to do eat in moderation now, I become satisfied with my food if I slow down.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I walk 6 miles 3 days a week, and I walk 3 miles the other 4 days. I also go to a step aerobics class 3 times weekly.
Close Burns
When I was 3 years old I received 2nd degree burns on 52 prcent of my body. I am now 33 yrs old. The skin has healed back to almost normal. Over the 29 years, (I turned 4 in the hospital) since the burn, my skin has stretched, and the scars are almost invisible. I have to point the scars out now for them to be noticed.
Treatments
- Silvadene Working / Worked
- This was given to me in the hospital, I was bathed in it basically, it really helped along with a wash called Betadine wash
- Skin Graft Working / Worked
- The skin has a few ridges that stick up but they are basically unnoticable if I don't point them out.
