I felt crappy, always tired, getting up everynight to urinate, headaches, and mood swings.

Minus the headaches, you are describing what I assumed is normal....

and skin cancer?  I figured they just cut off the offending mole, not thinking people actually die from it...  I have one that has definitely gotten larger.



Ok ok, I'll make an appointment today.

Eric, I was getting up 3,4,5,6,7,8, times a night, headaches that never went away, moods that were just plain nasty.  I kept thinking it was PTSD or something, never once did think it was Diabetes.  My urine levels were 1000, and normal levels are <100.  Blood glucose was around 280, and normal is also <100.  Those numbers explained a lot, I was stunned.  As for the moles it can get serious quicker than you think.  get them checked ASAP!

Hummm... Though not as extreme as you reiterated, I've definetly felt similar to Eric in this regard.  Ok... Time to setup an appointment.

Well, i got checked. Had a nagging side pain an heavy abdominal pressure on my left side under my ribs, feels swollwn inside, and my hearts been jumping around randomly in my chest.  The doc got to know my arse, NOT FUN, but part of the deal i guess.

Went to urgent care. Gave 3 things of blood. No infection. But my liver enzymes are elevated and my potassium is low, not a good thing. Didnt know how important potassium is to your heart, might explain my heart jumping around.

Had to return yesterday for an ultra sound. No lumps or bumbs, but my GI tract is swollen.

Off work today and back to the doc tomorrow. Hope to figure this out soon. Ive been ignoring it for months.

Thanks Mooch for getting me motivated to go man. Things could have got worse maybe.

Not sure what shape I will be in at that point either! I have asthma. I have take albuterol and starting to see low potassium levels and chest pains at times. Went to the doc, said to get some exercise and lose another 10 lbs and cut salt from my diet to get the blood pressure down. Not so young and invincible anymore.

Not to be spreading fear factor here but asthma symptoms and chest pain are classic symptoms of PE

Might at least be worth asking about the possibility

cursed mortality :smt011
amen to that

Reading this stuff I'm right with Mooch about getting checked

but then again if I look at my own situation truth be told I'm the least likely person I know to go to a doctor when something ain't right



+1 I always try to fix myself can't help but think my Doc. is an idiot but no one else around taking new patients
