Health trouble again
10 years ago
People who follow me on FA maybe noticed my lack of activity and new art.
For the last few months personal and health related troubles have left me stressed out and very tired with little time or energy to draw.
Especially my diabetes has been giving me a bad time, recent tests showed way to high blood sugar and my doctor told me that my old meds probably weren't working good enough anymore.
I was very surprised by this, because in the last few years I have done a lot to get in better shape, more workout and sports activities, lost a load of weight, watch my diet etc.
My doctor is very pleased with all this she tells me I'm doing very well, but its just not enough.
That kind of left me a bit disappointed, I really had worked hard to improve.
So recently I have tried out different new medications had loads more tests done, been very sick with all kinds of bad side effects of those new meds.
Finally my doctor found what seems to be the right combination of medication and insulin injections that is working and isn't giving me many bad side effects.
My blood sugar levels are dropping to a normal and save level again.
But things are still difficult, my body has gotten used to the way too high levels for so long it now reacts to the save low levels as if they are too low making me feel very tired and sleepy and giving me trouble concentrating.
My doctor told me this is normal and my body will need a few weeks to adjust, I should be feeling a lot better soon.
Hope to make some more fun pics for you soon.
PD.

Hope you start feeling better soon with the new medications.
As for me? I've spent the past two months dealing with a prostate infection. I've been rushed to the hospital, twice, had an allergic reaction to my pain medication that closed off my airway, reacted so poorly to the initial antibiotic that I could hardly move, and the next antibiotic caused damage to my gastrointestinal tract. Not to mention prostates apparently take a long, long time to heal, even after you've dealt with the infection.
I'm just so tired of hurting, and so tired of feeling sick... anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone. I wish you all the best, and hope you feel better soon.
