how do i know i should go get tested?????

[kaismommy]

now im not a un-knowledgeable person, but i do not know much about being diagnosed w/ diabetes.
kinda scary the more i think of it with all my other health probs...it all started when i woke early one morning feeling very sick to my tummy.. oh,and my mouth was veryyyy dry. (which isnt that abnormal when u first wake in the morning) so i thought nothing of it till it kept getting dryer and dryer while i sat in the bathroom rocking back and forth trying not to puke!lawd i hate puking lol... . 20 mins praying to god i WOULD NOT PUKE LOL... finally i started feeling a little better(or so i thought). all of a sudden my mouth went from dryer then a desert, to for some my mouth was filling up FASTTTTTTT w/ this nasty metallic metal tasting saliva. i had to literally spit about 10 times or my mouth wuld have over flown with this spit... i dont know how to explain how my mouth filled up.. it was like filling a glass of water with the faucet on full force!!!!!! and man, the taste was so nasty... well,to say the least even after spitting all this out,it didnt matter how many times i spit it out it kept filling right back up and FAST! because of the taste etc the feeling better went away and i was on the floor throwing up so hard and pretty violent.. after about 10 mins of being sick my tummy felt better,i wasnt AS dizzy,and my mouth stopped filling up for that moment being.

yes,diabetes does run in the family quite a bit..and yes i eat too much sugar at times...but i seem to get sick alot now lately and im not use to that being alottttt... (besides other health issues i have) ive tried looking this up and alls ive read was pregnancy (WHICH IM NOT LOL) , gastro and the main one was diabetes...
can someone give me some input about this??
havent gone to dr yet but i dont like going there much...thanks lots...

I first read the first thread On Dec 8th but stayed away due to all the rambling verbiage. Something told me this poster is a little unstable above the shoulders. Proof was when she missed your entire point. It didn't seem to me that you were picking on her child but pointing out the fact that by her ignoring her health is the same as her ignoring her child's well being. Talk about an emotional train wreck! And to claim 3 post graduate degrees? I find it difficult to believe this person wrote three thesis, especially with the vague and cryptic language presented in her arguments. I hope she rereads her threads and understands her unnecessary ranting did not prevent a response, that we are here to help even though she became angry over positive suggestions.

I guess you can't take the honest truth. And, yes, I am frank. If you want an answer then I will give you an honest answer and not join your pity party.
But do you take my suggestions seriously? No-o-o, you get angry and lash out. Lash out because I said you need to see a doctor to get to the bottom of your health issues? If you already have an appointment then says so instead of saying, "havent gone to dr yet but i dont like going there much" which infers you haven't done squat.

I brought your daughter up because you, and you alone, are ignoring medical attention and that will only lead to her being left behind. Waiting for a doctor? To say, "YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DRS they can not only be azzes and tell you theres no opening for months to come" is probably true in your case. With your attitude I can understand why doctors don't want to see you but put you off in hopes you go somewhere else. Instead of whining and shouting at people why don't you go to an ER? You do have a local hospital nearby? You may have to wait while more urgent care patients are seen before you but you will see a doctor, get tested, and questions answered.

Another thing, if you truly wanted to learn about diabetes Google "diabetes" and you will get 95,000,000 hits. That's ninety five million! With your three graduate degrees you should be able to 'read' and 'learn' something about this disease - prevention, care, and treatment instead of ranting, raving and pouting.

Lastly, since you brought up bipolar MedHelp does have "bipolar" and "mental health" forums.

Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.

oh and if u read that once more it says HAVENT GONE TO DR YET! i asked for input till my drs apt...or is that my bad that i didnt say i have an apt and just wanted to ask someone who knows about diabetes what they might think about what happened to me that day??come on now...from reading some of your post to other people in here and in other forums i can see that u are a bit to frank..
maybe grab some compassion up:)
would you go into a bi-polar forum and tell someone who was having a bad day that to suck it up and get over it??? i know i sure as heck wouldnt!! well,telling me something about me and my childs the same... check urself bro...im not some hater on here trying to be rude... but like i said, im not the only one talking about the way youve treated some people on here...
ok..done...and over this convo, time to move on...

[kaismommy]

i post on here it is to get advice and opinions not to have someone on here think there high and mighty and to dare tell me im ignoring my daughter!!i dont care if your a poster or a dr... u can say anything u want to me but will always leave my precious child outta it! got it? good :)
its funny how i ask what people thought and u answer with something what some people are saying is quite rude!!not just me!!
as for dr its called i havent gone yet because if YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DRS they can not only be azzes and tell you theres no opening for months to come...or maybe if u actually read the post right it says "havent gone to dr yet" which means waiting for my next appt!
sooo, before having your "god" complex and telling people that they are ignoring there kids why dont u try and see if that person is actually going to go...
i can hate drs and the way they treat some people and still go...
dont respond to my posts as u are far from helpful on any of my questions... and im far from bed ridden and take very good care of my health...why do u actually think this site is here for?????
for people to NOT ask something when it comes to mind?or just to simply be pure medical? people come on here for simple to complex questions...whether important or so farsighted, either way doesnt matter..people are here for each other...
i am not an egotistical person,but have 3 masters degrees which would tell you that i have no intentions on neglecting to make sure this part of my health will be ok...but then again sum 1 doesnt have to have any degree to write on here to act like they know everything about a person right?

anyways.....
honestly this post does NOT make me that angry...only when u bring my child into this...maybe you should post on EVERYONE whos every posted on this site and get personal about there kids as well...
or maybe u can open your mind and say ok heres someone who wants an OPINION!!! not a diagnoses....
if u meant something else by what u said then i apologize for thinking u meant i dont take care of my kid and ignore her...
BTW, i will be here to always take care of her until GOD takes me to heaven...shes my life and heart...

god bless and have great nite

"havent gone to dr yet but i dont like going there much"

You're going to have to face up to the facts:
1. Only seeing a doctor face-to-face will resolve your health issue(s).
2. Posting on forums may get you "assumed" answers only, no resolve/cure to your health issue(s).
3. Ignoring seeing a doctor by making excuses means you are ignoring your daughter too. If you get bed ridden ill who's going to care for her?

Please take the time to go see a doctor before it gets worse.
