im gonna give you some insight into my life here because im pissed off and i want other people to be pissed off with me

ok

so i had an appointment today with my diabetes doctor because i wanted to talk about diabetes related pain. ive had foot pain for a while now, months, but its been getting worse. its actually affecting my sleep, and my
left foot (it seems my left side is fucked) doesnt quite feel any pain. i had a metal thumbtack in the bottom of my foot for hours and i didnt even know. if im on my feet for 15/20/30 minutes, the outside of my left thigh goes numb, and itll stay numb for hours.

recently i had this intense pulsing death pain at the back of the base of my skull, its like being kicked in the nuts over and over for a few minutes and then it
goes away. and it went away, too. except last night it happened again, but this time it didnt go away, it just got less intense. looking it up and i came away with it being called occipital neuralgia. one of the reasons it could happen is due to diabetes, because diabetes fucks with your nerves even if its managed well. which mine is, more on that in a bit.

so she said that the thigh thing probably isnt diabetes related, could just be a pinched nerve. okay, that is reasonable since it only happens when im on my feet for a while. i can give that a pass.

then she said the head thing is probably high blood pressure. nah, thats not a listed reason for it. it definitely is not related to blood pressure because its a nerve thing.

and she ignored my feet issue entirely. then she went on to ask me about my blood sugar reports, and why i didnt have anything for last sunday and monday. she made a huge deal about it. except i have the same report she does, and



then she went in to say that my average blood glucose was 234 for the past 30 days, what do i have to say about that?
this, i have this to say about it:



like you get your reports from me, my thing automatically sends them to you. yours cannot be different, i think you may have the wrong persons report.

but, oh well. she made an appointment for me today at 1 for my regular doctor, to talk about a mild headache. again, its like being kicked in the nuts repeatedly. its actually debilitating.

still no mention of my feet being in constant pain.

so, im going to bring all this shit up when i see my general doctor, for fucking sure. i want nerve tests done.

by the way, those gaps in the charts? thats when i was sleeping. it tends to lose signal to my phone when im in bed since its just a little bluetooth transmitter. you can see how i get barely any sleep, and its mostly due to these issues.
