There is something sinister (or stupid) about celebrating the news you probably have Diabetes with food. But there I was leaving my Primary Doctor's office only thinking about a McDonald's breakfast. I was startled to learn that I've gain almost 30lbs in the few months since he saw me last. This is an amount he says is not medically possible without a extraneous condition even with a bad lifestyle. Not to mention my last visit with the hematologist ended with another pre-diagnosis of Thalassemia. Both are in confirmation testing now.
I don't have that bad of a lifestyle. I know why I'm fat and it's not just because my exercise options are limited. The real culprit is poor food quality and the bad metabolism I was blessed with. It hasn't helped of course that I've been lax with my Thyroid medication. I've blamed my sudden issues with hunger and excessive thirst on needing a higher Synthroid dose but the cause might be more dire. I hadn't even realized anything was wrong until my rings stopped fitting and I noticed a new red mark on my belly.
My Grandfather whose health problems I've seemed to inherit also had Diabetes Type 1. I'm even getting them in the same order he did. The gist of the matter is best summed up by my physician today who said "Your just to young to have these things happening to you." He was also referring to my neurological issues. My Sleep Study has been sent to the hospital again to set up an appointment for. Hopefully that will finally happen. Meanwhile winter break has started at my college.
My roommate's little brother will be here again this Friday and until Christmas. He's sort of an unintentional terror so when my Husband discovered I through away a extra TV adapter that would have kept him out of our hair we ended up in a horrible fight. Luckily I said nothing that couldn't be taken back. Some dumpster diving didn't bring up the lost item either so I'm having it overnight-ed. Anything for peace and quiet especially since our little cousins visit happens on the only days off for my guy before he works through the second and third holidays this season. He requested one off but as usual he got shafted.
The husband drove me to my 6th month review MRI on Sunday. I myself am still baffled that anything is open on sundays. The technician sort of let slip that the lesions were still present. She asked me once what we were looking for and surprise, surprise I couldn't remember. When the test was over and I recalled it she nodded and looked toward the screen with a big exhale relieved. I have a feeling that come New years I'll have to redo my medical information sheet with all new diagnosis's and updated drug lists. If the diabetes is true then I wonder how long I've really had it. After witnessing one of my Step-father's crashes I have to say it looked somewhat similar to when I was hospitalized in 2011. At least partly so but it's okay, I'm just a red shirt. It took 5 fillings for my teeth which are still very sensitive and I've given up on the Chiropractor.
