Julie Bove - 06 May 2008 16:31 GMT I still haven't heard back from my Dr. but was finally able to reach the nurse this morning. She also hasn't heard from him, despite calling frequently. Grrr...
Meanwhile, I developed a killer headache on the ride side of my head, with pain going down into the neck and feel really sick to my stomach. This started up after lunch yesterday.
I had promised to take Angela for Mexican food, but that didn't sound appealing when the time came. The place was packed what with it being Cinco De Mayo and all. But we are regulars there and they make us special meals. The waiter just ushered us to our table and brought us our usual. I felt like if I ate any though, I was going to puke. Wait staff kept coming by and asking me if something was wrong with the food. I forced myself to eat three bites and then high tailed it for home after making a super quick stop at the store for a couple of things I was out of.
Upped my insulin again last night and had a bit of cereal before bed because I worried that maybe this would be the time I got a hypo. Not so. I did wake up to 208 which is the lowest fasting number I've seen in a while.
I still feel like a swear word and didn't sleep well last night, having had a really bizarre dream about one of the posters here. In the dream, he looked and sounded like Buck Owens. It was too weird for words. Luckily, my alarm woke me from that one.
The nurse thinks I just have something that is going around and that this is not related to the Lantus. And Angela might have it too. She didn't eat much dinner last night and said this morning she felt like she was going to throw up, but she didn't want to miss school. I just hope I don't have to go pick her up because all I want to do is head back to bed.

May GOD bless you and Angela in HIS mighty way, thereby making you healthier (hungrier) than ever, in Jesus' awesome name.
Amen.

You might want to very strongly remind your nurse that being sick is not an excuse for not maintaining good bg's. In fact being sick is a good reason to keep your bg's on an even keel...

Heh! I'm not telling who it was.

That too. I just wasn't sure if this might have been a side effect of the Lantus, but I guess not.

There's not much the nurse can do. She is baffled by me and can't figure out why the Lantus isn't working. However from what I have read about it, I am still on a very low dose. 27 units. She is afraid to give me more for fear of hypo.

I can't tell. The dream was so weird and twisted, I could never look this person in the eye again if I did. Not that I ever did to begin with!
Ozgirl - 06 May 2008 23:50 GMT Time to really press the issue with whoever answers the phone.
Now who is the person you dreamed about?? I must know! lol.
You could have migraine re the headache.
The nurse cannot judge if you have something and therefore it can't be the Lantus. You have had the high bg's from the start of Lantus. You really need to get pushy here. Extended high bg's will do damage, you already have /or had a problem with proteinuria (too lazy to find correct spelling).

The problem is, they weren't answering. I was just getting voice mail.
> Now who is the person you dreamed about?? I must know! lol. I can't tell but it was someone with type 1. Hehehe.

Extended high bg's will do damage, you already > have /or had a problem with proteinuria (too lazy to find correct > spelling). I know that and she knows that but she says she feels helpless. I wasn't expecting anything to happen today because the Dr. is only in, in the morning and never returns calls on Tues. But if I have not heard by Thu., I will try calling him myself. Not that I usually get anywhere by doing that. *sigh*

No idea why it was him. I am not a lover of country western music. But I generally only have these really bizarre dreams when I am really sick or having a side effect from a med.

When I have dreams the subjects tend to be female. Same when I have nightmares:-)

One would say, "I'm a pickin'" and the other would say, "And I'm a grinnin!" And then "Hee hee hee hee haw haw haw!"

Ok, just googled images, can't say I know him. I also can't marry his image with an ASD member, although Tim has made admissions. :)

Not that the family getting sick is something to hope for, but you know what I mean. Good luck.
John Hey Julie, if you have a dream where I look like John Holmes, please tell everybody :)

I feel somewhat better. Not totally. And I seem to need a lot of water, so perhaps am dehydrated as well. Am trying a new Vegan Southwestern burger patty tonight. Black beans and assorted seeds and veggies. 26g of carb, but 9 g fiber. Am hoping my stomach can take it. Smells wonderful!
