Down more weight, blood work mighty. My B12 was 1000 despite a three week break from supplementing. I think it is safe to knock that off the list of issues contributing to my neuropathy.

My A1C is now 5.7. I am rather thrilled with that. Back, back, back it was unsightly. I'd hate to misquote, so I won't.

My primary sees no point in a punch biopsy, as we treat nerve pain the same. I ran with that crack in the door pointing out that it is not enough and I am doing Herculean work. It appears pain management may be the next step, though I see my neurologist at the end of the month and between seeing him and work changes I'd like to see how that shakes out first.

I don't quite understand what else he thinks I could do. I understand that prescribing "heavier" substances invites scrutiny, but it is not as if I have not attempted to address this with everything I have.

I want more quality in my life. If that means stronger medication, I can accept that at this point. I think my rant is becoming increasingly circular. First and foremost, I'd like the biopsy. While I understand this all could still be related to my diabetes it doesn't smell that way to me.

Anyway..
Frustrated, buzzing, burning with a side salad of shooting pains,
