Back from the neurologist. Showed him my list of new or worsening symptoms. I made out a list ahead of time and basically told him "have a seat, we have things to discuss." One thing that has definitely gotten worse is my tremors. He said that Cymbalta can cause that. Since I have only been on it since 4/9, he is going to take me off of it. Cutting the dose in half for one week and the second week I am only to take it every other day, then stop. (Hope that cures the constipation problem....sheez, that was getting way outta hand!!) Then he increased the neurontin to 900mg at bedtime. Told me that since it had been 14 years, chances are, it ain't gonna get any better. Duh!! I have been telling him that. He said "you are going to have good days and bad days. Can I get another "duh" on that statement?? He is still convinced that this is diabetes related. We have done 4 HgbA1C's all which came back normal. Did another today. I asked him to do a fasting insulin......nope!! I also asked about a skin biopsy. His answer was doesn't matter whether it is small or large nerves involved, the treatment is the same.......symptomatically treated. He also said that there are only 3 places in the US qualified to interpret the biopsy and they aren't one of those 3. So I guess I keep plugging along, doing what I have been doing. Loving my family, going to work, church, and getting out to see friends when I feel like I have the energy.

One last thing compounding all of this, my youngest son enlisted in the military yesterday. Had one year left of college and he could have gone in as an officer. This is me yesterday

Have a happy holiday weekend. Hope everyone feels the best that they can feel, at least for one beautiful day!!
