Missing in Action - let us know how you are!

[Northerner]

We miss people that we don't hear from for a while and worry that you are doing OK. I know this can be a very difficult time of year for some people, so if you are looking for a friendly ear then please give us a quick post to let us know how you are! 🙂

Katetoxo was an asset to this forum in the short time she was with us, but I think she said that she preferred to speak to young people her own age. Maybe I shouldn't have given her the link to the Insulin Gang forum, then she might still be with us. 🙄

Always enjoyed reading Flutterby's posts, cant say I've seen her on the forum for a while.

Great to hear from you and good to see you are still popping in - I think that you are one of our longest-standing members, having joined the day BEFORE the forum officially launched! 🙂 Hope things are going well for you and that you have a good Christmas/New Year planned 🙂

I have posted a few times recently after a lull but do look in quite often. I don't have a lot to rattle on about however did see the consultant at the hossie this week and she was pleased with me. She has OK'd the Byetta for another year and I am now to drop the Gliclazide as I tend to eat to prevent hypos and need to lose a bit more weight. So fingers x please.

Thanks for the update Lizzie - good to hear that you are doing well and able to reduce the meds a bit! 🙂 Have a very Happy Christmas!

I just want to say 'Hello' and wish you all a merry Xmas!

I have not checked because things have still not improved for myself...I have had 2 Epidurals for my back pain but unfortunately they did not work for me
I have Since been put on Oxycontin, which is making me feel ,very unwell!!....I have gone back to Dihyrocodeine now.

The pain clinic consultant sya'd that, with some pain, ther really is limited things that they can do?....And, mostly, I am missing my Mummy Pat...she was my Aunty, my Mum and my best friend...She died on December 2nd, just suddenly took unwell and had some kind of thrombosis and her heart just stopped.....I miss her so very much, my heart aches.

On the positive, my Daughter, feels that she can finally start to bloom....My daughter, DiDi, is Transgender (Male to Female) In January she will start a long Journey into Transission...We are going private though, I am not going to let the NHS mental health team pull her down or make her jump through their hoops!!....No, we will do all we can to help her. As for her Crohns, well, she is on very strong Meds now and seems to be doing ok...God willimng that this continues.

So, as you can see, life has been somewhat difficult and busy, to say the least....As for my Diabetes, well, I have not been for any appointmnets or had Hba1c done since, well, a good 6 months...I have stopped testing, I don't see the point as I know my bloods will be high!....I have promised myself to try and get on top of things in the new year...It's just that diabetes has taken a back seat with all the other problems going on.

Well, that's me, I am still around.....I wish you all the very best and much love to you all...Hugs, Ellowyne xXx

It's so good to hear from you Ellowyne, but I'm very sorry to hear that you are still suffering pain. It's very good to hear that Didi has decided where her future lies, I wish her every success and happiness as she progresses down her path. Good to hear that the Crohn's is under control too 🙂

If you need any help and support in your renewed efforts to get control of your diabetes - or just need a friendly ear - then please let us know, or PM me if you would prefer, anytime 🙂

I hope that you can find some relief from your pain and that you all have a very special Christmas and Happy New Year!

Echo Alan's wishes Ellowyne. I know it's a difficult process to go through, whether private or NHS (especially NHS I should think!) so wish DiDi all the very best and hope the crohnes settles down too.

As for you, sorry to hear you've lost someone so close but you've proved how strong you can be without much in the way of help, so your fighting spirit will I'm sure pull you forwards. I hope you can find the time for yourself once the new year comes and start testing and thinking about getting the BGs down a bit.

AT least drop by and let us know how things are going from time to time.🙂

I was really pleased to see you posting as last time you seemed so down. I am sorry that you are still having such a hard time of things - but you do sound more positive (despite all that is going on) than you have for a while.

I hope you can find some time to come to terms with everything and have some time just for you.
