Did he give you the results of a blood sugar test (blood) or tell you to take your blood pressure regularly at home? If not, that's what you should do. Doctors are not bad, they are not only out to get people to stop eating good food. They have an ethical and legal responsibility to give you advice based on what they see…

I probably should go back to therapy (went for years for other problems) because for the past few days I cry every time I try to eat. I've been so miserable I'm sure there's a reason

Unless you are in distress (temperature, shortness of breath, joint pain, wheezing), the doctor is going to tell you to keep a log, eliminate the suspects and then see if it improves.

There is absolutely no shame in taking medications, along with using other methods to relieve your symptoms. I know that my mind feels clearer now that I don't take in a lot of starchy carbs like potatoes and pasta. I kinda knew this would happen, just simply from science, but indeed it has. I have struggled with major…

My tattoos all mean something, and are related to struggles conquered or very personal things deep in my heart. I concentrate on those, and how the pain of that struggle was 100x worse than an hour under a needle. I have had both wrists and foot done and there were a few little pressure/twinges when they were over bone,…

He was one of my heroes. He has suffered from torturous mental illness and addiction for over 30 years. He lived as long as he could but he couldn't live a day longer. I will miss him very much
