I can’t do this anymore. Sat on the bathroom floor crying. My partner is sat eating and playing his game hasn’t bothered asking if I’m ok. He got back from work and hasn’t bothered.
it might help if you had an honest conversation wth your partner. explain to him your issues and what you need from him. explain this is something that you should do for each other, and tell him you will be there when he isn't doing well. i'll be the first to admit sometimes men are clueless. between working and home obligations they can't see the obvious. one time when i was president of the union i was very busy, my wife needed me for something important. i couldn't really see it, i told her i'd pencil her in, big mistake lol. remember good communications are important in a relationship

really tired, everything feels pointless. honestly I just can't cope with being chronically ill and as a result being stuck at home. No career to pursue, no place to travel to, no friends to meet. I'm just here and I can't enjoy it.
i don't know how old you are or what your limitatons may be but i do understand. i suffer chronic illnesses/pain so i am very limited. i am lucky i can still drive and go out in my 64 dodge but walking is extremely limited. most days i spend 18 to 20 hours in bed because it's more comfortable.

i strongly suggest starting a hobby you can be passionate about if you don't already have one, mine is antique caes and my 64 dodge has been a life saver. the other is human contact. of course irl is better but online can be almost as good. i have many friends on SF some of them very close.the most important thing is keep fighting and never give up

Frustrated and sick.

Frustrated with my blood sugar. My dr decreased my diabetes meds, but it is still dropping too low. May need another decrease. On the plus side of that one, I did get the Dexcom glucose monitor applied to myself and it is wonderful to not have finger sticks multiple times a day.

Worried about the mammogram I had done Thursday.

Too much medical stuff.

I still have headache and ear problems despite almost finishing a course of antibiotics.

Angie, doc will probably prescribe fosamax for the osteoporosis. I have been on it for quite some time. You take it once a week. No food for half hour before and half hour after taking it. It helps build up the bone density. I have had no side effects from taking it.

Yes she has but that’s not worked :(
there are many prescription and otc pain remedies out there, more than any person could know completely. i have suffered chronic pain for years so have tried many things. if you want to talk about it please use my inbox. maybe i can give you some possibilities to discuss with your doctor

i started the dexcom 7 a few months ago and it's a game changer. i have the opposite problem, i have high blood glucose. i used to have a hard time keeping them on. now i use a pre adhesive spray and 2 overpatches. 1 hint, if you have to remove an overpatch keep one finger on the device so it doesn't come out. also every once in a while do a finger prick and calibrate it
