Amanda likes to watch this Bethenny Ever After, or whatever it is called on Bravo, so as the good boyfriend I am, I watch it with her.  I don’t like these shows at all, but I still watch them, mainly to make fun of these people.  Especially these Housewives shows because these women are living in a fantasy world and I would love to just smack them into reality.  Anyway, the reason that I am mentioning this is because this Bethenny lady motivates the hell out of me!  She has so much passion and enthusiasm for her product lines and her personal brand.  She was  talking about having...

It’s been a while since my last A1C and my last endo visit.  I had an appointment scheduled in January, but it was cancelled because the doctor could not make the appointment.  My main doctor is on maternity leave, so the doctor taking her place has her own office and there was a scheduling conflict, so she had to cancel mine.  I just realized today that I never re-scheduled a new appointment, so I need to call tomorrow to make sure that I get a new appointment soon. I was supposed to lose at least 5 pounds by next visit, and I guess you can say, luckily I got sick these last few...

So the last few nights and days I have been feeling a little under the weather.  Starting Sunday night I had cramps in my stomach, but didn’t think anything of it.  Then Monday while I was at work, I started to get really sharp pains in my stomach.  Eventually it got to the point where I couldn’t sit at work any more and I had to go home and lay down because it hurt so bad.  All day yesterday my stomach would hurt anytime that I stood up for a long period of time or even just sat up.  So I just layed down all day long.  I was becoming worried that I was going to have to go...

I contacted my endocrinologist today because I need a new prescription for my pump supplies before I see her later this morning.  I was hoping that I could just wait until I saw her on March 25 to get a prescription from her, but there is no way that I am going to have enough supplies until that time.  I only have four infusion sets left and about 7-8 reservoirs.  The reservoirs, I don’t really care too much about because I re-use them a couple times before I actually throw them away.  Infusion sets obviously can’t be re-used.  I have been keeping one set in for on average about 6...

If you are wondering what an ENT is, don’t worry, I didn’t know what it was until recently as well.  I’ve heard of those kinds of doctors before, but never knew they were called ENT’s (Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist).  You all know of my clogged Eustachian tube problem that I have been having for the last month.  You all also know how freaked out I have been by it, because it just isn’t getting any better at all.  I finally decided to go see a specialist for this situation.  I didn’t want to because I have spent over $500 on medications and doctor’s visits on this whole...

I haven’t been to the doctor in a while.  Not just my endo, which was October of last year, but any other doctor.  This week I am setting up appointments with all the different doctors that I need for yearly check-ups.  The problem is that I don’t even have names of doctors to go and see down here in south Florida.  Even though I have been living here for 5 years, I was always using my doctors from back home in PA until last year when I wasn’t able to travel up there as much because of work related reasons.  I haven’t even had a general health physical / check up...
