saw doctor this morning

I saw my doctor and told him that I had quit taking Januvia a couple of
weeks ago. He said he didn't know what could have happened as it seemed to
work well at first. I go back 8/31 and will have full blood work then but
asked him to do A1c and glucose today. In meantime he told me to continue
the Metformin and Amaryl. Then we got sidetracked before results of A1c came
back. Actually it was 6.2 which is good and makes me wonder if the Januvia
wasn't working better than I thought since I started taking it on 5/1 so it
had to be the biggest part of the A1c. But I am so damned depressed today.
My husband died 4/04 suddenly of heart attack, I was diagnosed with diabetes
6/04, in 8/05 my daughter Erin moved home after Hurricane Katrina destroyed
her home in Lakeview, New Orleans and we spent the rest of 05/and the
beginning of 06 trying to help her deal with her losses. Then last July
12th- a year ago tomorrow- I woke up to find she died in her sleep. She had
a congential heart defect we didn't know about. She was only 28 years old. I
miss her so much! Right now I just don't care about the damn diabetes or
anything. I have tried and tried to accept it but I just cannot. My trying
to become involved in this newsgroup, trying to keep working, all to try to
deal with her death and I just can't do it anymore. I just don't care. Good
luck to you all.

Janice, please stick around here for the support and advice you need to
help deal with your DM. Also, lots of folks here are dealing with
various types of losses, deaths, diseases, family issues and can offer
the kind of comraderie only those who've been there can.

Do you have access to supportive counseling nearby? It sounds like
you're in a very understandable state of grief, with so many painful
losses in a very compressed length of time. It could be helpful working
through it with a professional, in addition to the peer support
available here.

Sad to read about this. Would suggest you inform your doctor(s) about
your feeling depressed.

You have my condolences.

That is understandable because of both your grief and depression.

Would suggest you ask GOD to help you through this your difficult
time.

"... with GOD, all things are possible." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Matthew

Amen.

May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way lifting up your spirit so that you
will care again about living your life.

Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,

I wonder if there is something in the chemistry of Januvia
that would make the meter read higher than the actual BG.

There is something very ugly about the way Andrew must shut away his human
emotions in order to cynically piggyback his obsession to self-publicise
upon other people's suffering.

Andy is Evil

Janice, I can feel your pain so clearly, and deeply. This is a big time for
you right now with the first anniversary. Focus on her. I last saw my 16
y/o son as he left to go to an out of town football game one Friday night.
The next I heard was "Robert is dead." I will NEVER forget that moment!
That was 1984. I know how your heart aches today. Stay here if you can.
Write me if you want. Been there, and the pain is horrible.

Big HUGS,
Billie

Please take everything to God in prayer.
Please do more of talking about it to God in your closet.
God will bless you and give you the strength to talk to Him.

I'm so sorry for your devastating losses.

I'm terribly sorry for your losses.

Janice, you have gone through one of the worst tragedies if not the
worst tragedy anyone could endure. The death of your daughter.

I dont know how anyone survives that, but you have. How do you think
your husband and child would react to your depression over this. They
would want you to celebrate their lives by going on with yours and
caringv. Going down to diabetes is not the easiest way to go.

I dont know if you have been in therapy, are in therapy but if not, I
implore you to see someone , a grief counsellor or a psychiatrist if you
need antidepressive medication. Until you can come out of the b lack
cloud of doom, there will be no moving forward and when you are
depressed you just dont care.

I believe in meds. I have sufered through some rough depressions in my
life . I am glad I sought professional help and was able to get on
living my life. There are things in life we cannot control, Janice, but
diabetes if controlled can still let us lead a long and healthy life. I
have always said I am the healthiest sick person ever since my
diagnosis.

I cant know how you feel, it is unimaginable to me. But you are still
alive and there will be many moments in your life of happiness.

Please seek professional help and stick with the program, You are
absolutely worth it.

Janice,

You've suffered devastating losses, and your depression is totally
understandable, especially given the one year anniversary date of your
daughter's death. But please, please do not give up. If you need to,
ignore everything else but your grief for this one day. But tomorrow,
find some way to start again. Your husband and your daughter would
want you to go on, take care of yourself, and be happy.

Hugs,
Michelle C., T2

Dear Janice,
Please believe me when I say I understand your reactions to your losses.
I lost my wife tragically in 2002 and I was as down as anyone can be.
After the funeral, I was alone - totally alone, as my family are in the UK,
and my only daughter, who no longer speaks to me, returned to her life,
advising me to go on anyway, without ideas as to HOW ...
However, I fought back, to show my friends and family that I was strong
and could overcome adversity as there was good to be tasted in the world.

Since then, I remarried to a woman who is half my age, she goes to work
(with the 14 week old foetus in her), and brings home the bacon (not really,
as I get more money in retirement tan she does as an expert cellular
biologist
- she is on minimum wage).

My point is, set yourself down a while and empty your mind of negative
thoughts and ask yourself where do you go from here ?
Make a plan to do 'this thing that has been on your list for months', to do
'this thing you wanted to do for a long time'

Go out and search for the pleasure that is there in life, even though you
think
there is none, or you think it is not worthwhile.
You will find the taste is highly worthwhile ! ... believe me.

<hugs>

Dear Janice,

I was so very saddened to read your post. I truly hope you will stay
with us a bit longer... Did you know, that I have a daughter named
Erin, who still lives in New Orleans with her young family? They moved
away for a while to Mobile, but they are back, now... Times are still
very hard in N.O.

Please try to hang on.... If you think about it, maybe you could use
some help, right now, from a competent and qualified psychologist, or
psychiatrist. They call it grief counselling, among other things, and
your post suggests that you are very depressed and despondent over
your losses and health crisis. For good reason, I would say. I just
cannot imagine the anguish you must feel all the time. Please, if you
ever want to write, my email addy is good.

Please stay.

Will, T2

Grief Support After the Death of a Child
http://www.compassionatefriends.org/

Janice, I do not know if you have been made aware of Compassioinate Friends
or not, but it is an organiztion that helped me a lot. Funeral directors
frequently get parents in touch with a chapter nearby, if there is one.
Here is the link for the chapter locator.
http://www.compassionatefriends.org/...s/states.shtml Talk
seemed to be all I wanted to do (and never had anyone with whom to talk and
talk as I needed), and this is an excellent opportunitunity to do all the
talking about Erin that you want. It is also important to get to talk about
yourself, and your feelings. Oh, the wonderful release when you find you
are not the only one thinking, and feeling some of the same things which you
do.

Always remember that your feelings are yours. They belong to you, and noone
else. They are neither right nor wrong. They just are. They will even
change from one day to the next. But, they are still okay. Never, ever let
anyone make you feel guilty over the way you feel. Sometimes, even the we
express how we feel seems odd to others, but for us it is what is needed.
One of the best things my psychologist helped me with was my anger. Our son
disobeyed us, and this put him into a situation that killed him. For years
I made excuses, then one day I allowed myself to *discipline* him as if he
had lived through his choice (to ride in a pivately owned vehicle to the
ball game, rather than on the pep bus - a reeeeeally bad thing, huh? .
For me, that was the true beginning of the healing of my grief. He once
again became an active part of my life. He has had to take his place in the
things the kids did, and thought they got away with. No longer was it just
the two living ones taking the blame, but now there were three whenever the
question might be asked, "Who did such and such?" lol

These things did not take place overnight, nor are they complete yet today,
twenty-two years later. But they are different. He is gone, yet he is
here. There is warmth now, where the pain once seemed unbearable. With
JOY I relive events from throughout his childhood. Please believe me when I
say there are better days ahead. Do not rush them. Go at your own pace.

My thoughts have been with you all day, and will continue to be so. It is a
journey you face.

Hugs
Billie

I'm so sorry Janice. Our children are supposed to outlive us, not
leave us here longing for them. I hope your grief eases as time
passes, and you are able to savor the sweet memories of your loved
ones. You have a lot to offer, and I hope you keep posting here.

Best,

Ricavito
