@Chevelle‍ Please don’t feel that way. We all get to the point where we feel like we can’t take it anymore. It will pass. I’m sending you something that might help.

Good Afternoon:

I would like to get my blood glucose numbers down around 100 and am taking oral medications. I would like to get off some of the medications because of the side effects.  Has anyone taken an over-the-counter supplement that states it helps with blood sugar and does it help?  Thanks.

Karen

@Chevelle   -  As Jujubeaner stated we all have bad days and feel that it won't get better.  That's why we are members of this group, to gain support when we need it by reaching out and giving us the chance to let you know we are here to listen.

@ajtherrien7076‍  ugh yes, the shortness of breath and gasping for air is something that I'm tired of as well. It makes me so aggravated.

I'm still having a lot of pain in my chest and my arm and under my arm.  It has been almost 10 months, I am so tired of this, will it ever go away or is it something I have to live with from now on?

I had a mastectomy and lymph nodes removed, why is it still painful? is that normal?  anyone else had this? what can you do to help? what restrictions would help? no heavy lifting? ice packs or hot packs?  suggestions and recommendations.  thanks.
