Maybe it's chemistry?

If you are a long time reader, you know I have been trying to lose this weight for some time.

It's been since 2009 when I saw the back half of 150 lbs. I have cut my calories, cut out glutens, had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I have taken test after test. Everything comes out clear every time.

Until now.

My blood sugars have been running high lately. Not huge. Just a little high. My fasting sugars are what my doctor is worried about. Every day I wake and test, I'm averaging 130mg/dl and above. Also, I have had nodes on my thyroid since the birth of my son 17 years ago. The doctor is concerned with letting them go unchecked for so long. I recently left my doctor; I had since I was 14 years old. This doctor believed that if you test for it once, and the test comes out fine then it doesn't need follow-up.

I constantly would remind him and his staff about prior test. They would shrug it off and tell me not to worry "we already checked that...The results came out fine."

As of today, I injured my right knee in 2008. It continues to ache, click and pop since the injury. I would tell the doctors about the pain and discomfort and was told I was nitpicking. Now, my left knee is injured. Same thing is happening again with a different doctor. We ran the test. Everything looks fine. Well, I have been complaining of the same pain since August. You would think they would run the test again. They may have missed something the first time. The swelling is down now. Just test it again.

I am no longer going to accept this is the way things are. I promise you I will be searching for answers and get to the last possible result.

My has been miserable since 2010. I am tired of being tried. Tired of doing everything asked of me, and still feeling like shit. Tired of following directions to a "T," and still not getting results.

Damnit! I should be a size 0 by now.

In the next month I will:

See a neurologist.
Follow on diabetes and endocrine issues.
Get my lesions, nodes and polyps checked.

This are good goals for now. Tomorrow, however, I will be spending with my family at the zoo.
