Part 2 July 10,2022

Health update part 2 So now with the history, labs and 2 weeks of the continuous blood sugar monitor results, my specialist in Utah who is a nurse practitioner who also has her PhD in nutrition, and was a diabetes educator before opening her clinic (basically crazy credentials), she is pretty positive I've got an insulinoma.  So she and my dmba nurse case manager have been doing everything they could, speaking to each other, making tons of calls, to get me in as soon as possible with the right specialist.  Thursday morning- about the time I'm falling down the stairs, the above mentioned nurse case manager Jill, emailed me and told me that I can't go on vacation because my health problems are too dangerous to go anywhere without a pancreas workup for that insulinoma. I didn't fully read and understand the email till Friday at like 430. I tried calling the specialist recommended but they weren't open Fri.  So I emailed my nurse case manager and told her I'll rest

Brief health update part I- July 10, 2022

I somehow got a shadow ban on Facebook, so it looks like they're not showing my pay updates. Maybe this will work better.  Update part 1- I couldn't explain the last week to you in a text fb update or a blog if I tried. But it does feel like I should share cause it helps me, but then I feel like I'm being a social media whiner. David Mayfield suggested I make YouTube video updates. My health this week has literally changed hour to hour this. I've wanted to do YouTube updates but then have been scared people would think I want attention. But I'm learning so much through all this, that maybe I can help others who are stuck in the same place I've been for the last 12 years now.  But the finality of everything that happened this week ended up with me falling down the stairs while having low blood sugar, even while holding the rails. We were supposed to leave for our summer family vacation in like 5 hours after the fall. So we rescheduled our trip for the second time
