health.

so, i'm not on metformin anymore. it was giving me gi problems. my doc put me on glipizide instead. i take that sucker before breakfast and dinner. she also put my on lipitor but it was giving me a muscle cramp/spasm in my left leg. it also made me feel arthritic cuz my knees started aching... then my ankles... and then my toe joints. i stopped taking it the day before clinical because i suspected the lipitor and didn't want to suffer during clinical. i didn't bother taking it again. i told my doc that friday and she told me to stop taking it. she says we'll focus on the diabetes for now and see if the cholesterol will get better naturally.

i also got sick last week so i only got to exercise 2 days =( today was the first time i got back into it. hopefully my sugars will go down. i had one reading of 146 and one of 111. the rest were 120ish. my after dinner reading right now was 120.

i had some labs done the friday i saw my doc. my sodium is back to normal. it was 134 before and now its 136. yes! hopefully that's a sign that things are getting better. there was bad news though. i think the lipitor was damaging my liver. before i found out, my doc had prescribed me 600mg ibuprofen for sore throat to use as needed. and boy did i need it. i think i may have taken 6 pills that weekend. so i'm hoping that i didn't do too much damage =(

i just watched a documentary called food matters. wow. i'm wondering if i should try a "plant-based" diet for now. i have to take fasting labs in about 2 weeks. i wonder what my numbers could be if i tried. my whole problem is school. i need to start planning out how to take food to school. there aren't too many good options for me in any of the food places we go to.

school.

found out my director is sda. she goes to the church my parents now attend. was a big shock to me. she sucks. she's not a good director.

i hate my clinical instructor. i thought she may be nice... not really. i hate her. she isn't nurturing or helpful like my last one. oh how i miss her. this one doesn't help me at all. she makes me feel dumb and inadequate. wtf.

i also hate the other ob clinical instructor. why is she trying to give us more work? stupid tattle-tell.

i just can't wait to be finished.
