I hope that I am posting this to the right forum...the last weeks have just been difficult for me being newly diagnosed Type 2. I'm still in the testing phase of medication, I tried Janumet but am having problems. My doctor has been giving me samples and just wish something, somehow would start working without troublesome side effects. I started on one pill for three days and then attempted to increase to two. Besides the muscle twitches, I spend all of Monday running back and forth to the bathroom. Went back to the doctors and he was going to give me Avandia...please no..then said to try Januvia on it's own. I'm getting frustrated, muscle twitches continue but now..yesterday my vision is blurry. This is not good as I am the sole driver to get my granddaughter who lives with us to and from school. My vision was nothing near this when I first started. I was in the process of getting the eyes done for contacts, but my left eye kept changing and I'm in a holding pattern now till the numbers come down and stabilize.
Right now I'm like SO mad at everything, I had enough dealing with my asthma and the allergy shots..etc..this is just the darn icing on the cake. I'm frustrated with trying to figure out what to eat, I'm microscoping every label, exercising. Affording this along with the 7 other medications I take a day is going to be a hardship..my life has just changed so much in the last two weeks. Whenever a new medication was added to my already cocktail I've always been fearful of it affecting my breathing. I am frightened to be trying different medications and frightened about what side effects I'll have to live with
Then on Monday my daughter was admitted to the hospital with Crohn's Disease, thankfully she's ok and should be coming home today--but I keep asking when things will stop?
Life was never normal before and to ask for it to return back there is hopeless at this point. I just want to feel "good" or at least half good. I had been learning how to give myself allergy shots and thought doing the blood glucose tests wouldn't be so bad, but I just want to scream "Enough"...
Sorry, sorry to be venting..I didn't know where else to just cut loose this morning
