Can diabetes cause this…?

Q: I was recently diagnosed w/diabetes (Type II), but went undiagnosed for almost a year after 2 pregnancies w/gestational diabetes…during this time and up until i was diagnosed w/Type II i had horrible joint pain. Though my diabetes is under control now w/diet, exercise and medication my joint pain is still there. It’s really bad in my hips, usually the right side. I’m not old by any means, only 31. I do walk quite a bit, but i was wondering if this could be one of the many things that happens when you have diabetes. Is joint pain normal? I will be discussing it w/my doc in June at my next appointment, but wanted to get experiences from other diabetics.thnxThank you Aim. I have had my Thyroid checked. it all started because i was working out 4 times a day over the course of 8 months and only lost 5lbs. the Thyroid was the first thing he checked, this is why it took so long to diagnose diabetes, he was sure it was something else.but thank you for the information.

A: 1—Yes, diabetes can affect your bones and the joints, so talk to your doctor, if you went awhile and was not diagnosed with any diabetes and it was found later in the stage of Diabetes, yes it will effect your entire body.I am a Type II diabetic and have been for over 20 yrs now.I have researched and studied it to the end of my ropes.The blood sugar, when it is stays constantly high, the sugar can crystalize in your blood stream, attaching to the walls of your blood veins, and can also attack bones with it. And the TSH, does mean something, it means your are in the accepted levels of your blood sugar count….and also, you need to keep your Cholesterol down and under 8.0, as low as you can, this can also effect you blood sugar.The doctor needs to run your blood work every 6 wks to make sure the sugar, Cholesterol, and your urine count is normal…If any of this is elevated, it will cause damage to your body.I keep my blood sugar down really good, I exercise, I run 2 miles per day and do all my home work out equipment exercises, I do not miss a day…..I do not touch sugar at all, all sugar free treats, no caffeine at all, I take one Actos 45 mg per day, and my blood sugar stays in the high 70’s to 84 always…..You do not want it to ever go over 120, and some doctors will tell you this as well, that is called a safe zone Ask your doctor to run a Full Panel every 6 wks and you will fine, don’t let it go more than 6 wks, this will keep a good time frame for diabetes.Go to the American Diabetes Web Site, it is great, and they help so many…..And be sure your doctor is running a urine sample every six weeks,,this tells him if your kidneys are functioning well as well, and will also keep a watch if any liver damage is apparent, which diabetes can also affect your liver.Your doctor, since he now knows your a diabetic will know which panels to run and keep a close watch on it.The Free 3 and Free 4, will not give you a full panel on the tests, you need to ask your doctor to give you a Full Panel Workup every 6 wks.And do not let people tell you, diabetes is due to being overweight, it is not the cause, it is caused from the Pancreas not functioning and not producing insulin into your system….so while being overweight does not help diabetes, it is not the main cause,I am 104 lbs, and have been small most of my life, and look at Halle Berry, Mary Tyler Moore, both diabetics and they have always been tiny, and Halle Berry is such a bad diabetic, she has to take 5 insulin shots a day, and Mary Tyler Moore she takes 3-4 per day.good luck…

For everyone, Christians, Atheists, Jews, Muslims?

Q: Everyone, pretend you had a parasite growing inside of you. Every time you ate something, this parasite would feed off of some of the food. It would make you need more food then you usually do. This parasite causes joint pain and swelling, vomiting, mood swings and sometimes diabetes. There are even times when this parasite causes death. Furthermore, this parasite can not reason for most of the time it is inside of you. It moves based on raw instinct, vehemently kicking inside of you, and emits limited brain waves. Would you feel fine with removing such a parasite if you had one?Please answer. State your religion. If you feel like it, also state your age.Please answer this without questioning, you will see why I’m asking this soon enough.

A: Parasites are harmful,always.t

Symptoms for 7 months, no diagnosis. Excessive hair loss, muscle pain, swollen nodes.?

Q: Hello!I`m a 19 year old female who`s been experiencing a series of symptoms for the past 7 months that doctors have been unable to diagnose.Firstly, my hair has been falling out and as you can imagine, this has been very emotionally stressful. Since about 7 months ago, I`ve lost more then 75% of hair from all over my head. The hair loss is not patchy, but has been thinning all over. I used to have long, extremely thick and beautiful hair, and now its almost gone. The hair loss is not localized to my head as I’ve even noticed that the hair on my legs and in my pubic area have barely been growing back after shaving. I did see a dermatologist and he said that I must have an underlying autoiumme disease that’s causing the hair loss. He suspects lupus or a related disease, but as of yet, blood tests have shown no irregularities. Since around the same time my hair has been falling out, Ive noticed that the lymph nodes in my neck have been swollen. Sometimes they are red and sensitive (especially after drinking alcohol or smoking) but usually they’re painless. I’ve also been experiencing a lot of joint/muscle pain and stiffness. Some days it gets really bad and I can barely move, even typing/writing is difficult because the muscles in my hands are so stiff. I feel like every muscle and joint in my body is inflamed. I’m only 19 and I’m having as hard of a time moving around as my 55 year old mother with MS.Lastly, (and I’m not sure if this is related at all) my skin has been really dry and especially itchy. I’m not sure if I’ve noticed any rashes, but I have noticed some redness (light red spots) randomly on my skin. My family doctor did a thorough blood analysis and everything came back normal. There is no sign of vitamin deficiency, my thyriod was normal, no diabetes, my blood cell count was normal, kidney/liver function was normal, and I’m clean for STD’s/STI’s. I really don’t know where to go from here and im terrified that if I don’t find out whats wrong, I’m going to go bald. Does anyone know what these symptoms indicate? Any advice as to what I should get tested for/where I should go from here would be great.Thank you in advance for the help!
