So this entry will update you all on my health this past year and some other random information. So I don’t talk a lot about my health, but I have been a type 2 diabetic since I was 19 or so. I had really good control of it up until the last two years. No matter what I have done it doesn’t work so I finally had to start using insulin and my family doctor is upping it till we get my A1C down to where it should be, but it’s been about 6 months and we are finally seeing better numbers, but over the last 2 weeks they went all wonky again. I am going to see a new endocrinologist in 3 weeks and hopefully they will get me settled. My thyroid has been a bit wonky too. I have Hashimoto’s which is when the body attacks the thyroid. It can really mess you up if you levels are not correct. Lastly my B12 deficiency reached an all time low…they couldn’t really give me number it was that low so I must go on shots for the rest of my life as my body just doesn’t absorb it through pills. I have been suffering the side effects and didn’t even realize it. Depression, issues with muscles and nerves, trouble sleeping, etc. Hopefully the weekly shots I have to do will get it back to normal quickly. Mentally I have been on a roller coaster. This year I will be 40 and my hopes and dreams of marriage and kids slips further from my grasp and it is hard to see my friends happy with their kids and spouses and not long for that too. I am learning to just take a day at a time and enjoy my life as it is, but some moments are just very hard to deal with it. So it’s been a rough year mentally and physically, but I am working on getting myself healthier and happier each day.
I still have the same two jobs began year 16 at each…being the music director for my church and working one on one with children who have behavioral problems. I could use more money as we haven’t had a raise in over 5 years and the cost of living increases each year, but overall I enjoy both jobs.
I continue to do art and make cards and wreaths as my hobbies and I really enjoy them. I have been overspending a bit too much retail therapy if you will so need to find other things to make me happy lol.
I think that sums up my life over the last three entries or at least my 2019 and very beginning of 2020. My next post who knows when that will be, but it will bring my life all up to date for the year. Thanks for those of you still reading and commenting. I think I have 2 people left to catch up on and then you are all caught up. I read all of you, just don’t always comment.

Definitely not a great thing to deal with when diabetes and hashimotos decide to fight over who gets #1 in your life. I hope the numbers stabilize soon.

36 and still single and childless here. I know how you feel! I just try to keep counting the blessings I do have instead of focusing on what I don't have. It's hard sometimes. But we keep trucking on <3

I do try to keep on trucking, thanks.

That sounds like a lot of health issues at once! Hoping 2020 will be a great year to turn that all around and get you feeling better soon! I know a few people who have hashimoto's. They do well with adding chiropractic care into their routine. Maybe that would be something to try??

Always Laughing Small Town Girl ⋅ January 24, 2020

I do go occasionally but see my massage therapist more. Maybe i need to do equal time with both.

Small Town Girl Always Laughing ⋅ January 24, 2020

That is good! Do you see a special person for your hoshimotos? Like a homeopath or something? The three gals I know who have that all see a specialist of some kind. I'll have to ask them the name of the person who helps them control that. It might not be a homeopath, but I know it's not a doctor.

Always Laughing Small Town Girl ⋅ January 25, 2020

I am on medication, there really is no other treatment that I know of you have to take it to make your thyroid function correctly. I see an endocrinologist.

Small Town Girl Always Laughing ⋅ January 25, 2020

Hmmm. Ill ask the girl at work, she sees a special person and follows a strict diet. She also has autoimmune disease, or is hoshimotos auto immune?

Always Laughing Small Town Girl ⋅ January 25, 2020

It is auto immune, the body attacks the thyroid. Let me know who she sees please and thank you :-)

Hope your 2020 is better than last year and I hope your levels even out and you'll feel healthier and happier this year.

Thank you :-)

I'm really sorry to hear of these health issues and also the negative side effects they're having on you [gentle hugs]
I hope that you'll feel better and that this year will be a lot more stable health-wise and mentally and that you'll be happy =) I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your jobs and your hobbies - sometimes a bit of retail therapy is good, but I can relate with over-spending. =X
*"I am learning to just take a day at a time and enjoy my life as it is" < this what you wrote here is the best way imo!
