hey all,
not sure i have diabetes but i know something is not quite right with me. also i have tried to read about diabetes on the internet and it is confusing and in some cases contradictory. the fact that i have had major depression for at least 15 years doesn't help my situation any.
The deal with me. I see a psychiatrist 4 times a year to get my meds, currently generic wellbutrin EX 300mg and generic Zoloft 100mg per day. Also i have had high cholesterol and triglycerides for years. currently take generic pravachol 40mg/day. this keeps my total cholesterol just under 200 but my good cholesterol HDL is always a bit low, under 40, like 35-37. triglycerides are always sky high like 300+.
what brought me here:
lately my fatigue has reached extreme levels. i rarely get out of bed or leave the house. also horrible constipation to the point of impaction on at least 3 occasions alternating with diarrhea. i do not take care of myself and my gums bleed regularly. i have always been prone to yeast infections (yea i am a guy) but lately its worse. today i noticed my vision is blurred which prompted an internet search which led me here.
probably too much info but there it is
