Oh Kim, Please don't go off your meds!!! Listen to Grace and Sandra, they're trained, experienced medical professionals and believe it - THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!! If your meds are causing side effects, you need to tell your doctor immediately if not sooner. Just maybe there's something else that can be done for you.
I have to see an endocrinologist on a regular basis for diabetes. There are times that I don't want to bother with insulin shots or any of the other things I need to do anymore because no matter what I do the diabetes isn't going to go away so why bother. My endocrinologist is very supportive, we talk about it and she very often makes changes that makes all this easier while still maintaining effective treatment. Your doctor wants to help you but needs to know what's going on.
As always, you remain very much in my prayers!
