| So I went to my GP yesterday and she told me the results of the glucose tolerance test. Normal blood sugar level is 7. After I had the glucose drink mine shot up to 19. That's definitely diabetes. The good news is I don't have any symptoms like numb feet, kidney disease or vision problems which happ... |

| Once when I was waiting for a train, some guy came up to me, yelled something in my face and then dumped a large cup of lemonade on me. I was soaked. I was on the way home so at least I didn't have to put up with being sticky all day. Anyway, some security guards came and escorted the guy away and a... |

| Years ago I probably caught impetigo while catching public transport. Big patches of it on my face. I had to stay home for two weeks and wash all my clothing and bedding in hot water as it's very contagious. However, I don't mind public transport at all. I have a car though, and that's the most conv... |

I only had the two upper wisdom teeth and they were taken out when I had jaw surgery. Minimal pain.
You made me laugh with your wall demolition description. |

| I was diagnosed with ADHD in early 2004. Autism wasn't even mentioned. Then after burnout in late 2004, I was referred to an autism psychologist then psychiatrist who told me that I was without a doubt autistic. In the years following, I saw a doctor who treated my ADHD but refused to believe I am a... |

There are autistic people with great imaginations, like your mum, Mountain Goat. I'm the opposite, I'd be very much like the lady you know who can't make things without a pattern.
It's very frustrating to have a limited imagination. |

| So I got another text from the doctor saying I should make an appointment as soon as possible. I rang the clinic and the 26th March is as soon as I could get in. I had the glucose tolerance test - it required me to sit for two hours after I had a very sweet glucose drink. Plus they drew my blood thr... |

| I've just been made redundant from my cleaning job and so I emailed my boss for a severance letter to prove to Centrelink (who pays me my pension) that I'm no longer employed. Normally I report to Centrelink once a fortnight my earnings and the hours I've worked via a phone app. Now there's no point... |

| Just this morning I twisted my ankle stepping on a piece of gym equipment. I've always felt like a pair of eyeballs moving through space. Then my feet remind me they're there and I really should watch where I'm walking. |

I'm not surprised, really. I am fat even though I'm pretty active. But my diet isn't great. My housema... |

| I just lost my job so that's something I m coping with right now. The biggest challenge will be trying to save money while on the disability pension. The last big change was when our house contents had to be moved so the new floor could be laid. We rent so we couldn't say no to it. I hope never to g... |

| Last major injury was when I broke my arm. It was the radius near my elbow. I fell off a chair trying to reach something. I was alone at work. I continued to to my job until I drove home. After dinner, I realised I couldn't straighten my arm and it was starting to hurt more. So I drove to the ED. An... |

| Went to my GP today and complained that my asthma is getting worse. I was told to try taking more Symbicort, not just morning and night but when I go to the gym and work. I hope this makes a difference. She listened to my chest, sounds wheezy. I got sent to have blood tests for a lot of things inclu... |
