Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Congratulations !!!! Two pounds is two pounds less :-) and also getting and keeping your blood sugar down. WOW!!!!! I hope that the new combination of meds will also get your pain level down to a " manageable " level.

I had my regular 6 week doctor's apt and I lost another 2 lbs. That's 42 pounds all together. Two pounds isn't much in 6 weeks but heck, I had my birthday, Easter and Admin Day here at work so I'll take it! I thought I was going to gain so I'm very happy. Some of you know I was recently diagnosed Type II Diabetes. Very early stage - only one blood test over 100 and it was 108. Since then (last November) I have been on low carbs, trying to ride my stationary bike 10 mins a day - sometimes I make it, sometimes I do not. I also discovered that the pain in my feet/legs are diabetic neuropathy that actually preceeded the elevated glucose. I am thankful I have a very proactive doctor who started me on Provastatin and Metforum right away and my sugar leves have been good as has my cholesterol and all that good stuff! Anyway - we decided to go back to the Cymbalta as the pain relieve was quite noticeable. When I switched to Celexa, all the pain in my shoulders and upper back returned. He is wating for my next 6 week apt to see if we should increase the Lyrica. He gave me the mail in cripts for all my medication. I mailed them in this afternoon - SIX of them not counting the Lyrica (which is already on mail in) or the over the counter supplements. Yesterday was a bad day pain wise, today it's better. At least on the Cymbalta I can go back to the Tramadol during the day. My druggest scared me and I haven't taken it at all with the Celexa! Thanks for reading if you got this far LOL - just wanted to share my two pound victory gentle hugs --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
