On a Different Note - Part 1 Nonfiction

[quechop]

I must be in editing mode (and suffering from insomnia). Poor writing is popping up everywhere these days.

Nonfiction and the wth sentence that's just tacked on:

"Early detection helps many athletes with diabetes enjoy rigorous training."

If you really think about that sentence, it's missing some key information/correlation to make it a true statement

interesting...

i had no clue that i was insulin resistance and diabetes type 2 and PCOS because all of my doctors just kept looking at me and i swear, the three doctors that i had at that time (i think it was about three years ago - horrible memory issues still) would come in the examining room, take one look at me and just say "you're fat", "you've let yourself go", "you need to go on a diet. or my favorite "you need to exercise." i told that doctor that i had been trying (we have a treadmill and i had tried walking with my daughter - but the pain after those short excursions put me in bed for days and practically unable to function. that doctor nodded and said "yes, it's a hard situation that you're in". i thought i would kill him.

i finally decided, after diets, depression, misery, a job that was killing me and my mind no longer functioning that i was going to myself. once in the psych hospital i got new medical doctors who looked at me for the first time with fresh eyes and rain a boat load of tests (that i'm still paying on, by the way). THAT was how i got my diagnosis, when it was almost too late.

i was able to lose almost 100lbs because my endocrinologist put me on the proper meds for the insulin resistance/PCOS. because of the weight loss i am no longer at danger for diabetes of any type but i will always be insulin resistant and have PCOS and be medicine dependent to keep it all under control. i also have a tumor on my left kidney and i'm not sure if that has anything to do with my other doctors letting things go for so long.

anyway, my point -- doctors are stupid. that's what i've learned in the past decade of my life. once they think they have you diagnosed, that's the end of the line. i'm getting really sick again and none of my "new" doctors will listen to me. i've just told loren (like i did before) when i drop dead, demand an autopsy before the cremation. but, no, i'm not suicidal.

sorry to ramble.
