I'm feeling better.......

[DianaB]

About a month ago I finally went to a new doctor because I'd been checking my blood sugar and it was running too high. My hands and feet were also really swollen and sore as well. I really loved the doctor who spent quite a bit of time with me, checking me over and asking questions. I believe that I posted on here that she ran quite a few tests to find out what was going on. It ends up that I'm diabetic, but I'm not surprised by that.

I went back a couple of weeks ago and she changed some of my meds to other meds and put me on Lyrica. I ended up having some problems with the meds for diabetes and finally quit taking it because the side effects were too bad, but the Lyrica......I feel wonderful!!!! I'm not tired.....my house is cleaner.......and I feel so much better!!! I didn't realize just how much I was hurting and how much it was keeping me from doing stuff but now..........It's like someone flipped a switch!!!! Glen has even commented on how much better I am. He can really tell a difference.

I went back to the doctor today and I'm starting a new diabetic medicine and, because of the price, I'm going on something else besides Lyrica. Hopefully, I'll still feel as good because it's a lot cheaper. If it's not as good then I'll go back on the Lyrica.

It has been so nice to actually feel like moving. I've enjoyed walking, exercising, cleaning, and even going to Wal-mart!!! I didn't realize that I was hurting so much that I wasn't enjoying things....but now.............It's like WOW!!!
