Hey guys. I just came from my seeing my gp. I am about tired of going to the doctors. I had pain management on the 7th, pdoc on the 14th and this appt this morning. Gave me a B-12 shot. I had to have an xray done at the hospital of both knees afterwards.
Then, it was off to the drug store to get the multivitamin, b-complex and aspirin he wants me to take, plus I picked up some fish oil caps while I was at it. They were relatively cheap.
He thinks I may be diabetic now. Started me back on medicine to lower glucose and for polycystic ovaries. He asked me would I be willing to take a shot of insulin every day and I told him yes. He said that in addition to helping lower blood sugars that it might help me lose some weight. So now, I have to take all of my regular meds plus the supplements.
SIGH. I will be 40 next month on the 9th and my body is falling apart of me. I desperately need to lose some weight and so want to, but I can never seem to get motivated to do it. Is it the meds causing this apathy or is it just laziness? I would like to think it is the meds. Anywho, thanks for listening to me complain. I love you guys and I hope you all are doing well and that you enjoy the rest of your day.
Hugs,
Chelle

I feel your pain with all the doc appointments. Unfortunately we gotta do what we gotta do. I know you have your hands full with the kidlets too. I'm sorry that there's so much going on...I desperately need to lose weight too, and I'd love to blame the meds, but I think for me it's just plain laziness. Hopefully the new meds will help you lose the weight. Much love!!! ((((HUGS))))
Big ((((HUG))))
Hanna...........I am going to try my best to lose some weight. He wants me five pounds lighter when I go back on the 19th of next month. I did a couple of minutes of running in place after I got home and before I ate. That's all I could do at the time because my leg muscles started to cramp up on me. :(
I hope your day improves and that you feel better soon. Much love to you and big hugs. xox
Jen...........I have not had to have any surgeries yet. They want to do surgery, but I have a lot of weight to lose first. I have had the ESI's before. One helped, one didn't and one made it worse if anything.
Sandy...........thanks bunches!! xox
I a borderline diabetic from meds... most probably seroquel... its hard to change our lifestyles (I am vegetarian and rely on carbs so much)... but it can be done slowly... don't beat yourself up for it... its not laziness its this damn disease and the meds.. makes motivation impossible and apathy part of our daily life
have you tried stretching (or is it too painful?) just regular stretching... helps with mobility and tones you.. its a good way to start.. and I agree with the swimming option... maybe see whats available in your area and see how you can go from there
much love x
