Hi,
I started with campylobacter 12 years ago with hours to live, resulting in kidney failure for 18 hours. Treated with a massive dose of antibiotics to keep me alive. This caused the IBS and subsequence discovery of type 2. Ever since I have not been able to tolerate 99% of oral medication and a huge amount of foods I used to eat. I exist on cups of tea, wholemeal bread and the occasional greens. The amount of food I can eat is limited to one small portion size per day, including fluid or the stomach kicks back. I stick with a kidney friendly diet with no salt or sugar. Never buy pre prepared foods other than bread.
I have been under every hospital department except for maturity or morgue, in the last few years! Despite the state of my glucose levels the damage to my limbs is becoming constant to were it is annoying wobbling around. In the last few days it has become apparent T2 is the cause of problems no medical "expert" has picked up on, despite 4 years of asking what the H is going on.
I have tinnitus, migraines, vertigo constantly, brain fade at times, memory loss occasionally and times I can't understand what I'm being told. I deal with all the other health issue I have and my diet has been OK'd by dietitians.
It is a pain in the butt I can stomach fresh fruit or herbs and spices. I have been going through regular cycles of being tolerant of bland foods only to have to resort to starvation to settle the stomach down and starting the cycle over again, 5 times last year while trialing many BP and T2 oral meds. Stopped all meds this year and got caught with aspirin for mini strokes. Just recovering and gone onto a BP external patch to try. BP reached 200/120 earlier this week with a head that wanted to explode. Some strange side effects to the patch but seem to be tolerating so far. Now to get the T2 under some sort of control. Should know in the next few day if it is to be insulin.
Cheers
