test results

I went to the doc yesterday and also got the results of the stomach emptying test. It showed just what we thought it would. I have gastroparesis. It's a not so fun complication of diabetes.

I also am having a lot of asthma troubles so he started me on a steroid inhaler 2x a day, along with my regular inhaler. He also gave David and I the H1N1 flu shot. He says we are high risk, so we got it. We were lucky as he only got in a few doses. There have been no side effects at all, not even a sore arm where the shot was given.

Well, it's 1:30 AM and I am still awake. I have such insomnia!! I hate it!! I take a sleeping pill and it still doesn't help, but my Dr. seems to think the gastroparesis has something to do with that.

Y'all have a great Friday!! Let me know you were here!!

God Bless~

So sorry for the belly problems, I have a few myself. Hopefully there are some medications that can help the gastroparesis. Maybe they will help some of the neuropathy too???

well my twin, i feel your pain! i have taken every single sleep medication in the free world. I've developed a 'cocktail' that works sometimes.

Just think, if i ever visit, at least we'll have someone to stay up with and talk late at night!

I will post my Frito chicken later. My children love it and it is very easy to make and bake.
I hope you feel better soon and sleep better also.
Have a great Sunday,
Susan
