Topic: Kook, your opinion.

The other day I went to the doctor, and told them multiple times that I am type 1 diabetic. Yet they still prescribed me prednisone, just to call me yesterday and basically tell me to stop taking them, and I wasted my money.

How r-worded do you find this from a medical professional's POV?

Not kook but question. Since when does one tell a doctor they are diabetic. Isn't that what you pay the Doc to tell you.

> Yet they still prescribed me prednisone, just to call me yesterday and basically tell me to stop taking them

You are expected to call the office back and ask Y.

You might want to send a private message instead of posting a personal question in a public forum.

I already did, and you should work on reading comprehension. That class of steroid is known to raise blood-glucose levels.

No sensitive information is in that message. Also, no PMs between users.

No one ever said I was perfect. So I looked up prednisone

"Prednisone is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood disorders, breathing problems, severe allergies, skin diseases, cancer, eye problems, and immune system disorders. Prednisone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids."

Me thinks there is much you're not telling us about communication between you and Doc.

Also most long term users of MC are fully aware that PM's can be exchanged. The process is very easy and works better than most PM tools. It is also available to EVERYONE Here.

> assuming this hard.

Why would I need to say more than "I am type 1 diabetic," in order to avoid being prescribed a drug known to raise blood sugar?

You are even dumber than Bert, sometimes.

Perhaps you should work on your speaking comprehension with a Doctor. Even you must admit something failed in the translation. Otherwise you could not have ended up with the wrong meds.

Bert is not dumb. He does some very very very dumb things.

I'm not going to sit here and give you details about my discussion, or diagnosis. I ended up with the wrong drugs, and I articulated perfectly to the doctor the symptoms I was experiencing and events leading up to that moment. Quit digging for personal information, you creepy stalker fuck.

> Bert is not dumb.

Do you read his posts?

Shit like this happens all the time with doctors. Just quit taking them...best quit bitching too because your money is in Big Pharma's pocket now and it isn't coming back.

I do not give on flying fuck about your fucked up body. Perhaps if you exercised more and got some fresh air more often. No question your body told the Doc you're not healthy.

You might be better off talking to Kook in MC PM. That way you will not have to spill your guts about how you neglected your own body.

> > Bert is not dumb.

For about 20 years. Smart people can do dumb things. Lot's of smart people are dying from Opiates currently.

I'm 6'4" 230lbs, and exercise/cycle for at least an hour everyday. I've never seen you get this angry before. You really need to accept that you do not know everything.

Yo angry? Not 1% Not even.1%

Except I caught a cold probably at St Patty party downtown. First cold in over a decade. Perhaps even two decades. Nose drips need over the counter something and will consult with a pharmacist.

So mad at my nose but for sure not mad at anything ELSE.

When I was a kid I used to wonder if diabetics could just eat cake and candy and shit and shoot up insulin to cancel it out ?

I was. I mean they were kind of swamped at the time, but they could take notes or something. This should have been avoided.

It is possible, but extremely expensive! Also different forms of sugar get pocessed in different ammounts of time, so you have to be able to account for that, too.

You need your kidneys' to fail. At least one of them
A pancreas transplant can cure diabetes and eliminate the need for insulin shots. Because of the risks involved with surgery, most people with type 1 diabetes do not have a pancreas transplant just after they are diagnosed. ... It is almost always done when someone with type 1 diabetes also needs a kidney transplant.
