Some days I feel like my health is a game that's a combination of Don't Spill the Beans and Pick Up Sticks...add a bean, take out a stick, and try to keep it all balanced. I've been praying for progress...and it's been an answered. I feel MUCH better than I did a year ago, and better than I did three months ago, but on those days of exhaustion and nauseousness...that's when it's tough to be hopeful. This week I had a few doctor visits (technically one was Convenient Care: moments after using new drops, my eyes burned and started swelling): - four different doctors determined I have a sensitivity to fillers and preservatives in some medications - my insulin level (the highest the doctor's ever seen=four times normal) has decreased nearly 50% over the past 8 months - Dr. S was EXTREMELY impressed with what I considered a pithy weight loss--evidently with the severity of the hyperinsulinemia, I should weigh at least 80 pounds more than I do - I have a referral with another specialist (co-chair of the department) in a few weeks to address another endocrine deficiency Currently the eyes have it: - bloodshot and losing vision - sensitivity to three different medications - puffy and excessive tearing - might be due to hyperinsulinemia
