Will You Be My Diet Accountability Partner?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I know for a fact my HS is from metabolic syndrome. I can’t control HS diet on my own. I know high blood sugar wrecks my thyroid, causes my IBS, and causes my HS flares. I lose and gain and lose and gain due to emotional eating, lack of better food resources etc. Yet better food choices are always available. I just many times make bad choices. I tried Overeaters Anonymous for this but I loathe 12 step programs and the partners in it were terrible for accountability. You don’t have to be obese or… read more

Well, not exactly. Our hospitals are going broke and are in danger of being permanently closed. The governor is considering allowing them to go broke and not do anything to keep them open. So I couldn’t make up my mind which city to even try going to as the outcome could be bad at any of them. I suspect the pneumonia medicine they gave me many have caused c. difficile which can cause intestinal blockage from the antibiotic killing all the protective friendly bacteria. I’ve had several acquaintances die at the local hospital from intestinal surgeries. The risk of dying from such a condition is 30% anyway. Some used to be very decent a couple of hours away but since covid they are not trustworthy anymore. I haven’t gone yet because we have some personal issues going on with husband we have to address that is just as important as this thing going on that we need to address right away. I’m going to make a phone call to my gastroenterologist and tell his office my concerns and go from there. I think he works out of more than one hospital and I can as their hospital of preference. I did some home self care and made some health progress to tie me over until I can get in to see my gastro. His website says he can treat for this. So will just call him in a minute. I can tell him my symptoms and he can tell me how serious it is or isn’t at the moment perhaps. I hope he is open considering it is Friday and lots of doctors offices close in Friday. I think they should close on a Wednesday because everyone seems to get sick or have emergencies on a weekend. Fridays off makes it 3 days a week with no doctors and it is hit or miss who you get on emergency room call outs.

I’ve done pretty good today. I am baking whole rolled oat cookies for the parrot and if husband gets a sweet tooth at least it whole grain. Its oatmeal cookies made with only brown sugar, oats, a little white flour, oil no butter. I only ate one cookie within diabetic limits but when cooking I did lick batter off my finger. But I didn’t binge like yesterday. As far as withholding information that is known as the “sin of omission”. Lol!
