Hi. I joined up a little while ago, but this is my first time posting. I figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Deranged 4laugh

I have Type II Diabetes, chronic Pancreatits w/ psuedocysts, Fibromyalgia, Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome....hmmm did I leave anything out? Oh well I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, are we counting mental illnesses too? blaugh

Anyway, I'm just here to get support and lend support...I find it helps to talk to others who can understand what I'm going through. I'm not really a whiner, it just helps to vent sometimes, as most of you probably know. It's overwhelming sometimes dealing w/ the chronic pain, but I'm managing to get by. Yesterday I had a hypoglycemia attack and landed on the floor at work, it scared me, but that's it. So, I learned something new...carry the lifesavers in my POCKET not my purse, cause I might not get to my purse in time. rolleyes

Well, I hope to chat with some of you, especially if you have any special insight into the illnesses I mentioned, but I'm a friendly gal, I'm up for conversation with just about anyone.

Hi! thanks for the welcome.

Well, I'm on a lot, so I'll keep lurking.

I guess I'll try to start a conversation.

I was just in the hospital 2 days ago, TRYING to have a procedure to place a stent in my pancreatic duct, but apparently, they figured out AFTER I was out and they were already poking & prodding my insides that they "didn't have the right equipment"? Ughh frustrating. I'll be going back in a few weeks I think.

So who else feels frustrated by their doctors/hospital care?
How do YOU deal with it?
