Here we go again. I saw Cheryl on Friday. My blood pressure is up, but considering the fact I’m in constant pain, that MAY have something to do with it.

Seems I’ve stumped the tech’s once again. According to all the tests results, I shouldn’t be in any type of pain from anywhere. Oh well. It seems like I’m the exception (again).

Cheryl is sending me back to see Dr. Schecter regarding a drug called Cymbalta for the leg pains.

We also discussed my concern with the weight gain I’ve experienced. Cheryl told me that as long as I’m taking insulin, I’ll experience weight gain. I also found out that while on insulin, the closer I get to “target A1c’s” the chances for weight gain increase. Talk about your “catch 22”. Somehow, they forget to mention this little tidbit to me before I started taking insulin. Being on prednisone doesn’t help weight loss at all.
