My family doctor called me in last Friday. He had my blood test results. I had already seen them online so I had an inkling as to why he wanted to see me. My A1C is 6.4, down from 7. That's excellent! I'd like to get it down to below 6. That would make me "diabetes free". In my case this may mean no mess but I will still have to follow a specific diet to ensure my numbers don't go up again.
My liver reading is still high. According to my MD more weight loss is the way to combat this. So, onwards and upwards on this health care hike!
He had some shocking news from the rheumatologist. The rheumatologist has refused to take me on as a patient as he doesn't think I have a condition that relates to his field of expertise. Ok. So, no lupus? My MD is treating this as fibromyalgia. I was scared of this. There's not much that can be done. Fibromyalgia is tricky to diagnose and difficult to treat. I'll be starting cymbalta soon. We'll see how this goes.
I will keep you in my prayers.

DeleteIf cymbalta does not suit you there's another medication called Savella. It is an SNRI, but FDA approved for use with fibro. I am doing well on Savella. It gives me great pain relief. Everyone's metabolism is so different. Praying for you, sister.
