I’ve been put on DIAMICRON MR (gliclazide) and it’s not going well. Day 1 and 2 15mg and some side effects. But no improvement in BGLs. Day 3 30mg. A range of horrible side effects and ME much worse. No improvement in BGLs. Does anyone else with diabetes and ME have any experience with this...

Yes @LucyLouWho You are wise to get onto the gastroenterologist and the gynaecologist. Best wishes Andy

@James Morris-Lent I’d be interested to know what you end up using. I have asthma and MCS. I live in a bushfire prone area and we were evacuated earlier this year due to a fire which devastated our area. The smoke hung around for weeks. More recent bushfires have brought more smoke. I have...

Sent you a PM @LucyLouWho

@Gingergrrl Do you have any ideas for @LucyLouWho? Hoping you can find some solutions for your dreadful situation @LucyLouWho Thinking of you

@Binkie4 There is a FB site called havewheelchairwilltravel. It is Australian based but covers international travel as well. Lots of good tips including travelling with a wheelchair. The person who runs the site is very helpful and open to private messages and questions. I keep the distances...

I’ve developed dry eyes over the past year or so. Tested by optometrist. I have to use a lubricant many times a day and before bed otherwise it’s unbearable. I’ve recently notched up 7 years with ME.

Has the child been checked for diabetes?

Thank you @Lucibee

They lost me at “head scrape therapy”

@Dechi I seem to have become more vulnerable to straining muscles since ME. Also RSI type pain and burning after very little use of muscles. I have to limit how much time I spend on devices so that I don't trigger these problems. And then there's the fatigue associated with ME. Sometimes I...

The most common suggestion from doctors I've seen in Australia is for me to exercise in a pool. Like people with arthritis and injuries. Then I have to explain why that won't work for me. In my experience doctors I've seen in Australia (apart from at the CFS Discovery Clinic) are particularly...

Just heartbreaking. Poor Alem. Thank you for visiting him @dave30th

@Gary Burgess Congratulations! This story made my heart sing today. Wishing you and your beloved a lifetime of happiness together. :heart:

In the early stages of my illness I struggled to travel 5 minutes in the car as a passenger. These days I can manage road trips. We have accepted that it will take longer to get where we want to go. I can go up to an hour and a half before I need to stop and rest. If I push on further I...
