I expose myself with the results from my physical and blood work

Go play in the dirt. Pet the dog. Kiss babies. Mow the lawn and roll in the grass. Exercise the five-second rule.

Get enough sleep. Get enough exercise. Drink enough water. Watch I Love Lucy or The Three Stooges. And stop reading the side effects.

I dunno. I think I figured out it was dosing myself up on Baclofen which was giving me my strange weekend sickness problems. I haven't had any for about the same amount of time as I haven't been ill. I think it used to build up in my system until it made me loose-bowelled and nauseous, at which point I couldn't swallow anything anyway. Then come back five days later when it had built up in my system again.

The side effects don't suggest this is a pattern, and although it works in my head I don't know if it can medically have a cumulative effect, but the symptoms are apparently common.

Ditto codeine. If I'd been able to read the side effects through my pain-squinted eyes, I wouldn't have prolonged a bout of food poisoning with the sweats and hallucinations in my 20s (codeine based tablets) AND I'd have saved myself a week long migraine a few years back (prescribed codeine for terrible headaches). One addiction I will never be in danger of acquiring!

I get what you're saying though, V.
One of my friends nearly had me convinced I had an STD when I was a virginal 15yo, after looking up my symptoms in her Dad's medical book. Sometimes you can worry too much.

Waiting on the rest of the numbers, but I do know this one:

June A1C: 5.9

It's good, and it's what I expected. Fasting sugars down to between 90-110, controlled by meds and relentlessly correct diet. BP unchanged, still controlled by meds.

Way to go, UT!

Went out to dinner last night for a late Father's Day celebration. As I sometimes do when the kids aren't around, I only ate gluten-free, and had probably 1-2 servings of corn- and rice-based stuff, plus a total of about 2 glasses of wine (made up of sips of all the little wine pairings that Mr. Clod got with our meal.)

11-hour fasting blood sugar this morning: 121. Grrreeeat. I think it was probably the alcohol that did it, two of them were extremely sweet "dessert" wines. Looks like I'm having protein for breakfast.
