I am going to rant. I am going to swear. Topic: Insulin Resistance, or, Goddamn I feel shitty!

Fucking hell. One thing after another, I swear.

I just started on low-dose estrogen last month. It started helping right away. I was just starting to feel like a human with imposter syndrome. Yay!

Over the last month I've been feeling progressively. . . weirder. I noticed my vision was off when I was driving. I was getting even more spacey than usual. More tired. More lethargic. I figured I needed to raise my vitamin D dose, so I did, but no change. Earlier this week I had spells of weakness, low fever, confusion, and crushing exhaustion on top of all of that. I also developed an infection inside my nose which has now turned into cellulitis in spite of the prescription ointment. I fucking look like fucking Rudolph the reindeer.

Today I gave up and went to urgent care. The amazing doc did bloodwork, urine testing, nasal examination, and took the time to just talk to me to get a feel for my life and stressors.

Blood test results say my current glucose levels are over 400. My urine test says glucose is over 1000.

Hooray! Insulin resistance! Now I'm on insulin and when normal will be evaluated for diabetes 2. And I'm on a strong antibiotic for infection.

Motherfucker. I just can't even anymore. I just can't.

Fuck.
