PTSD and Trauma recovery

Andrew, Jr. · 03-25-2010, 12:48 PM

Well, I have done a major no no. I stopped my daily blood draws, and have been skipping my Actos (diabetic med.). With the money I saved on the strips for the blood draws and my meds, I was able to save enough money to buy my niece a nice wedding present. That is why my big toe is giving me trouble. I know I know. I already got the lecture.

So, are you getting back on the program today?

Yep. I am back on my meds today, and tomorrow I start the blood draws.

Sorry, you felt like you had to do this, I hope you feel better really soon!
