well, i got good news and bad news at my PCP appt.

Good news:
1)got referral for opthamaologist, appt in december.
2)referral for Physical therapy went thru so i started back in physical therapy, should help my mobility i hope.
3)I finally have an appt with the Barrow MS Clinic on Nov 22! I'm sooo happy maybe something can be done finally!
4) blood work results: A1C 5.6! (that's my blood glucose levels, under 6 is desired. the doctor is actually cutting my metformin to 850mg from 1000! My cholesterol lvls are good, though my good cholesterol is a little low
5) this doctor seems to be on the ball, i'm getting a lot done!
6) I'm down 63 lbs since this whole saga started in july

Bad News:
1) something is definitely up with my left eye, i think it may be a blind spot caused by Optic Neuritis. it doesn't hurt though, at least.:/
2)signs of diabetic kidney disease. protein in my urine. i have definitely noticed i have been peeing a lot and it looks different. and I'm very hot all the time, so I'm drinking iced beverages all day.
3) my potassium is also low, it was 5.2 when i was in the hospital in august, and they were giving me potassium supplement drinks (yuck!) I'm not sure what it is now, but it wasn't dangerously low, so it's probably about the same. and i eat 2 bananas a day and take multi vitamins. possibly from all the water I'm drinking?


I am having the blood and urine tests again this week. we shall see .

i will update if needed when im not so tired
