I have neither rosacea nor eczema. But I do have an extreme pain my right forearm any time I clench something. It's not wrist pain nor is it elbow pain. WTF is it?

I promised to take Noah bowling and I could only bowl 2 half frames and then in teeth gritting mode.

Aging blows.

Carpal tunnel, Kat? Or a nerve being pinched somewhere above it?

I have my first mammogram today at 4 p.m. This seemed exciting when I scheduled it. Now, maybe not so much.

Typo Boy., I am glad you are okay.

Amy, I don't think so. Dr. Google suggests anterior interosseous syndrome.

I have basically slept all day. Called into a final project meeting and was even almost dozing during that. Uhg.

Today has been a bit better. Face just aches without the spikes of crazy pain. But major headache - not migraine thankfully. Taking the day off work and resting as much as I can.

During an earlier nap CJ came in and asked where my nail polish remover was. I swear I told him and was fighting to stay awake to tell him I needed him to go to the Lego store for some specific bricks I needed to stabilize my Lego project. I sat up a few minutes later and looked around for the Lego project before realizing it had been a dream. CJ had asked about the remover but apparently I just grunted at him.

Apparently those pink rafts are just ASKING FOR IT.

You know it was a pool noodle. I will say no more.

TB--I got distracted looking for Mario Badescu links and just realised I didn't say: don't downplay that blood sugar problem. I don't know how many other Buffistas have "shoulda been unconscious at home" health scenarios, but most of mine have a really short window (and I haven't called the EMTs since I drank that glass of H2O2). Yours was serious.

(Although last week's nurse visit probably put me in some jeopardy. She came late Saturday instead of early Sunday so I had a whole lot more "normal" meds in my system. If this is what dilaudid feels like for normal people, I get why it's recreational. But it seemed to have interacted merrily with everything else I'd taken that day, and I was stoned as all fuck. Talking to the walls stoned. Changed for bed but didn't turn out any lights or even get into bed properly stoned.

And then I woke up at midnight and I was not only feeling level-headed (but stupid) but I could not fall back asleep.

I hate my biology.)

Not really downplaying. Did call 911 within five minutes, which given mental affects of low blood sugar is not a bad response time. Saw the doctor about it. She said two possibilites. One is that the 24 hour insulin I inject into stomach fat, hit the 1 in a million lottery you don't want to hit and went straight into a vein. If that happened, I got 24 hours worth of insulin in ten minutes. The other possibility is that since I'm pretty good about diet and great about exercise my insulin resistance was lowered. And while that usually happens gradually, it is not unknown for it to hit suddenly. Both are low prob scenarios, but I definitely hit a low prob scenario of some kind.

To be on the safe side , we are cutting the insulin does by over a fourth for a week, and leaving it at that even if the blood sugar ends up high during that week. At the end of the week if it is high we will gradually adjust it upward. If it was not resistance but hitting a vein, there is really not much you can do. There are veins everywhere. The fatty part of the stomach is the best place to avoid them. So odds are if that was it it won't happen again and anyway, and not much to be done to improve those odds. As of this morning not superhigh 121, which is not bad given that yesterday morning is was over 180. So I suspect that even if my dose is not the final one, the new dose will be closer to this than to the old one. So tentatively, sudden change in insulin resistance looks a little more likely than it did yesterday.
