Hate to post to this twice in one day but I just had to get this out. I find this thread sort of therapeutic and it kind of helps to get stuff out so I apologize. Just ignore it if its driving you crazy lol.

After thinking about this for the last few weeks and talking it over with my husband I have finally made a decision. On Tuesday is my Drs GP appointment (well I shouldn't say Dr because she's really a nurse) but anyway she has refused to listen to me and its cost me dearly.

First there was the whole trulicity incident where I spent 2 months sick as a dog so nauseated that I thought I would hurl at any time. Everyday was like this until I just could not take it anymore and told her flat out I wasn't taking it anymore.

Then there was the glimepiride that she gave me that literally put me in the hospital in agony and not being able to eat for first two days then later two more days just to get through it. I cant wait to see what the hospital bills from that whole thing is going to cost me. I know it aint going to be cheep.

Then there is this, sorry if this is TMI, but the 3 years of diarrhea that I have had to endure over the stinking metformin. Going through all of this has had a negative impact on my health and mental health as well.

Well Tuesday is D Day and she's either going to listen or I am going to refuse anymore of her pills and likely fire her butt on the spot. I am simply not going to fall into line and take a bunch more pills that could land me back into the hospital or do something worse to me. Its not worth the risk to my health to keep taking these darn pills.

So with my husband by my side (he's with me on this) she's going to listen to either him or me but she IS going to listen. Either I come out of there with a prescription for something safer like insulin or I am going to refuse to take one more pill of diabetes medications until I get my new Dr in November.

I weighed my options and I would rather have high blood sugar for a few months than wind up with another case of pancreatitis and in the hospital again. So I am taking a klonopin and I am going in there and this time I am not going to bow out and let her make all the decisions. I mean it is my health why the **** don't I have a say in it?
