Re: Reflections on Degenerative Illness

>It has been a really long time since I wrote this. Unfortunately, to the readers out there, all my symptoms have become 5x times as severe. This proves it is degenerative.

I doubt that it proves any such thing, Sam. Your health problems are affecting your judgement. A cure for many of your problems might be right around the corner. Don't give up!

I'm a new member here and just beginning to read the posts. I read what you wrote a couple of months back on Chelation and responded to that last night. In case you didn't see it, here's the address:

Putting it another way: Your ammonia-smelling urine is *strongly* indicative of diabetes. You might have/probably do have some other problems over and above diabetes, but that's how it is with diabetes for many of us. Get control of your diabetes, and then you've a decent chance of living with/handling other problems as they arise.

One thing to remember about diabetes is that when the blood Sugar gets too high, you simply can't think straight. Don't judge your overall brain functioning by its ability to function when it's out of glucose, its fuel. High blood Sugar deeply affects brain functioning. You won't be able to think well or reliably well until you get treatment for your diabetes. Please be aware that it's normal, not unusual, to be terribly irritable with high blood sugar. If your blood Sugar is too high too much of the time, well, don't be surprised if you seem to lack social skills. It doesn't help you (or those around you either) to beat up on yourself with a bunch of unflattering labels.

You might or might not have something like Asperger's Disease; you haven't provided enough details about your experiences there to make a judgement. But you have enough problems of your own that you'd have to be a saint to be focusing on someone else's problems at this point. That doesn't make you Autistic, it just makes you hurting.

Sam, please do check out the possibility (I really think it's a *strong* probability) that you have diabetes. You can't do that by posting the question online for complete strangers, many with no medical training at all, to answer out of the blue. You need a medical professional to give you some real help. I'll be thinking of you and hoping you do that.

Best wishes,
Mary
