Well almost. My guts and mouth are still a bit less than normal. I feel like there is extra skin in my mouth and my tongue is still funny looking. Food still tastes a bit different which is annoying. At least the slight off feeling in my guts keeps my appetite under control. I no longer require a daytime sleep now although it can be a struggle getting up in the morning. Some warmer weather will make it easier to get out of bed.
I am on insulin 3 times a day now, i.e., I am still on the steroid. Bummer. Not sure when I will be finishing this steroid either, the doctors don’t seem to want to speculate.
Injecting the insulin is OK except when I hit a little vein and then it stings a bit. I usually try another spot when this happens (the needle only has to go in about 1mm and you know if there is a little vein there). A few drops of blood usually come out after taking the needle out if I hit a vein. At least I think that is what is happening…I have not checked with the diabetes people.
So it looks like christmas at the very earliest before I am off most of the drugs.
