had an abdominal ultrasound 3 weeks ago… GP was worried about something.. but nothing sinister found👍.. non alcoholic fatty liver has increased a little.. and they found a bunch of stones in my kidneys.. already know the pain they can cause lol.. hospitalised twice in the last few years ouchie! lol.. anyway she has made a urology referral to see if they want to do anything about them at this stage.. think the largest stones are 6mm.. GP thinks that’s quite large

Hello
Sorry to hear this there always seems to be something for some of us
I have to say you seem to be taking it well I would be my normal anxious wreck !
I do hope they sort it out and if you are in no pain maybe leave them for now
Let us know how you get on x
She hasn't been on the forum for 15 days. Where are you Be Kind, because we're missing you?

Dear Jean
Have sent private message to BeKind so hopefully she will answer soon.
I think that a comment made by a member about the way we answer posts { me included } may have affected her { I maybe wrong }
It seems that some of us { me included } use a to human approach to a answer a post as a poised to a blunt one that any search engine can give you.
If that person took time to read old posts they would see that not only has this happened since the beginning of the forum but is actively encouraged by the team running it.
Just check the tone of the answers that the "staff" gives, very human.
No one has to tell me that I use 100 words when 10 could do, that is me, pass my answers by, its easy to do.
But like others I don't have to do this, its a small way of payback to show my gratitude to the help that I get from here, including the countless private messages that have got me through some very dark moments.
I happily wave the flag for being a human being, faults, warts and all !
SHOUTS !!!!!!!!
" Alexa why does my heart hurt? " { copy answer, paste and post, its so much easier}
jeanjeannie50• in reply to
As you can't help being 'human', others can't help being 'gentle souls' whose feelings wound easily. She is a kind caring lady whose words must give great comfort to so many people who come to this forum scared stiff about suddenly finding out they have a heart problem. Sometimes people just need a shoulder to cry on and gentle words and Hidden was that person. I really hope that she is well. She is a much loved and valued contributor to this forum.

Hello Jean
You can tick me of the register as attended today
Thank you for your concern I do appreciate it , I have answered Mountwood what has been happening if you want to look
Hope you are keeping well x
jeanjeannie50• in reply to
Good to hear from you, but what a pain re the diabetes diagnosis. Perhaps once that is treated you will start feeling a lot better. Let's hope so anyway.
Jean xxx
do you mean Hidden ? The one that has such difficult issues themselves but still finds the time to write such thoughtful responses in a very human way?
Fingers crossed they come back after a little “holiday”.

I have replied to Mountwood you will see it on the post about some of what has been happening with me
Thank you for caring x
Hidden is the sweetest person and I too hope she's OK. She has helped me already with her reassurance and empathy. It speaks volumes that she is missed from a forum after a fortnight.

Hello
So sorry if I have worried anyone where I am
I have not been coping very well at all
I have now found out I am diabetic as well as my iron is low and I am anemic
As you know I already struggle with the heart issue and this has come as a blow and feels all to much and I am just feeling so down but it is so very kind of you to ask about me and thank you so much
I hope you are keeping well x
Gumbie_Cat• in reply to
I’m so sorry to hear that. There I was clicking ‘like’ to see you, but sad to see that you have these extra things to contend with. I moan with a lot less reason!
Look after yourself, you can do this - and of course be kind to yourself as you’re always there for others.
• in reply toGumbie_Cat
Hello
You know the famous saying there is always someone worse of than you and so true and I really have compassion for those that are but I also know whatever you personally are going through or whatever you are struggling with it always feels the worse as you are trying to deal with it so don't ever think you moan with amy less reason
Thank you again x
Yumz199725• in reply to
Aw so sorry to hear your not coping and can't be easy trying to adjust to a new diagnosis. Is it brought by your heart or completely unrelated? sorry if this seems like a silly question.
Take care and all the best ❤️
• in reply toYumz199725
Hello
I have no clue where it has come from and it is not a silly question as I have been trying to ask myself the same one without getting an answer but I have been eating better than ever before my heart issues yet now Diabetic and another tablet to take which of course comes with side effects which they say are upset stomachs and I already suffer bad with those and feeling sick so I am feeling so down it is ike I take one step forward and 100 back and of course the anxiety is having a field day ! x
Manhattan1• in reply to
hiya😊.. i’m type 2 diabetic.. wondering which tablet you’ve been prescribed? i was put on linagliptin tablets in November because i sometimes have stomach issues and i had read nightmare stories regaring metaformin tablets.. also it seems linigliptin is also better because it won’t impact on my CKD stage 3b.. so far no issues with the medication.. hope you feel better soon x
• in reply toManhattan1
Hello
O goodness they are wanting me to start on the metaformin one's 
I have also red they can upset your stomach as well as making you feel sick and I already have IBS and my stomach is mess on the meds I take so far so I am dreading it
I have spoken to the Doctor about this and she has convinced me this will be the best one even though I am not convinced at all
Glad the ones you are taking are suiting you x
Manhattan1• in reply to
mention linigliptin .. as i said.. i don’t have the best of stomachs.. but so far so good.. at the end of the day.. it’s what suits YOU best x
Etzel• in reply to
Keep your fingers crossed, i'm on 4 Metformin a day and never had a problem with them. If they should offer you Trulicity (Dulaglutide) be warned that does have minor stomach issues but in general is awesome as it also acts as an appetite suppressant which is very useful for me
• in reply toEtzel
Hello
My Doctor seems adamant that I go on Metformin
They are only starting me on a baby dose 500mg I think it is once a day
It says take with a meal to help prevent stomach issues but I struggle to eat breakfast I only have a small amount to soak up the heart meds in a Morning never been a breakfast person so I am waiting to see if there is a reason I might not be able to take them either at dinner when I eat a little more or evening meal
I am glad they are suiting you and thank you for your reassurance and reply x

Sorry to hear that you have been struggling, if it is not one thing it is another. Keep strong, and stay safe.

Hello
Yes very true there always seems to be something to knock us back down not that I seem to get a chance to get up
Thank you though and I hope you are keeping well x
• in reply to
Yes it is cruel. One step forward 10 back. I am keeping OK. Have changed my anti depressants. From fluoxetine to sertraline. Giving them a try. I don't know it is hard. But I phoned cardiac nurse up to try and get some positives. After reading something about a heart transplant, wish I had never set up the nhs online system. I can read all my letters. Any way I think it is something they will look at for the future possibly? Any way nurse said my heart issue is stable and iam on the right medication. So I have gone back to the gym doing light cardio, and will try and do my daily walks. But I appreciate you asking and allowing me to be able to write to you on this forum it helps to get things off my chest. You take care.
• in reply to
Hello
It can take trying a few antidepressants till you find the one that is right for you and I really hope this one is the one
I can get on my Doctors notes and I agree it can be the worse thing I could have done when I read things that are written it can trigger me of
But as they have said you are on the right medication and you have some will power as you are not just sitting there but getting back to doing some light cardio and little daily walks so good for you
Keep this up and what you read might never happen
I agree writing things down talking to someone can really help and you know we are here to listen whenever you need to talk x
Hrty• in reply to
It's good to see you back, you were so kind when I came on here a few weeks back feeling lost and confused after my out of the blue HA at the end of November. Really sorry to hear you are struggling a bit. Someone I know developed diabetes after his HA and, if I've remembered correctly, it was because of the treatment he received. I have to be careful as I've just tripped back into pre-diabetes.Pleaee take care and hopefully you'll get the treatment you need.
• in reply toHrty
Hello
Yes I am having quite a bad time at the moment but we have to get through a day at a time even when it feels a struggle
I am not sure where mine has come from they just say it is one of those things but I suppose it is about getting it controlled like you say watch yours but I am sure you will be ok
How are you doing now , feeling better or getting there ?
I do hope so
Thank you for replying and your kind words it means so much when you are down as you know x
MummaSoap• in reply to
Hi BeKind, I was only thinking to myself the other day that I had seen any replies from you on any posts; I’m so glad to see you’ve popped on to let us know how you’re doing.
Thank you for being brave and sharing how you’ve been feeling recently, I can’t imagine how hard things have been for you with this most recent diagnosis.
It’s so lovely to see how many contributors to this forum care for you; I hope that this provides you with some comfort during your darker days.
Keep in touch, let us know how you’re getting on.
Sending you a big hug and I hope that your GP can help to get you feeling better (for the diabetes and anemia) very soon!
Soap 💛

Hello
I have to be honest if Mountwood had not done this post and it was the first time I had looked on I don't think I would have shared so I owe it to her she fetched me out so to speak as when I get down I can push everything away I get so overwhelmed if that makes sense
But everyone is always so kind and yes it really does help and I do appreciate it
I hope you are keeping well and thank you so much for your supportive reply x
Mountwood• in reply to
Dear BeKind28, I've only just checked my texts and found so many replies to my query about you. I'm so glad I made it although I'm sorry you have been having such a rough time. Your comments are always so empathetic and we would all miss you and them if you didn't contribute. Don't worry about the Type 2, I've had it for 20 years. I made the first 5 years on diet alone, and the last 15 on Metformin with no side-effects and I'm still going strong! Welcome back.
• in reply toMountwood
Hello
Thank you for doing the post and it must have been meant to be as I just happened to look on and it was there otherwise when my anxiety gets the better of me I tend to go in myself and shut myself of from everything and everybody and I was doing that and starting to get adapted to it which I know is no good for us
I think it was the shock I was not expecting been told I was diabetic when I had my bloods done and yes I no doubt have been feeling sorry for myself with the " Why Me's " have I not had enough but I know again I need to stop that
I am sorry every reply now on here you will get an alert if it gets to much please just let me know
Thank you for your reassurance over the meds and been diabetic and how you are ok after all this time those are the things I need to hear
I hope you have a lovely day x

Hi I read your lovely posts regularly, you are so helpful to the community. I was sorry to read that you were unwell yourself, It must have been a shock to find out you were diabetic I worry about that as well, I have clinic on Tuesday my bloods will be done then. I haven't posted anything myself for a while I don't want to bore everybody, The journey of a transplant patient 🤣, I hope with spring approaching and the nights getting lighter we will all perk up a bit and life will be a bit brighter char xx
• in reply toThanksnhs
Hello
It sounds like you are dealing with such a lot yourself and reading your reply I thought how strong you must be even though I know we don't feel it
You belong here and please keep talking and posting you need to talk about how you feel and even though I know we don't always have the answers we do care and are good at listening
Let me know how those blood tests go x
Thanksnhs• in reply to
Thank you so much for your reply, I will be so glad to get them done I always get anxious at clinic time, just in case, I was supposed to be there a month ago but for the second time I had the thee virus and I have been a bit breathless since always a worry, I will let you know how it all goes. Char xx
• in reply toThanksnhs
Hello
You are an inspiration what you have been through must have been mind blowing and here you are doing so well I admire you so much
These virus of all different kinds this Winter have been worse than ever , I to have just got over another one and know people that have been suffering since before Christmas to shake them of as I have said somewhere else let Spring hurry up I think that will help us all feel better
Don't be a stranger it has been so nice talking to you x
Hey BeKind
I'm sorry you have been struggling, my Dad was type One Diabetic. I'm no expert but I can try and reassure you if you have any questions.
Sending lots of love and hugs

Hello
I have struggled since my heart attacks and then the triple Bypass finding it so hard but trying each day
Then I caught a virus not the C one another one and goodness it was worse than the C one that took me on antibiotics and while I had that they came to take my bloods and then the next minute I get told out of nowhere you are Diabetic 2
The anxiety and shock I just have got so down thinking when do I get a break from all this
I am eating better than ever and ended up Diabetic not sure how that works out so again you think I have watched everything that has gone in my mouth better than I ever had and now I get this
Well Tuesday I have to start this medication and then on the 16th the Nurse will be phoning maybe she can shed some light on it who knows meanwhile I will do what I do best worry !
How are you doing ?
Well I hope
Thank you so much for replying and if I have any questions I will give you a shout and thank you for the offer to x
Anon2023• in reply to
hi. So sorry to hear that you’ve been feeling so low and about the diabetes diagnosis. Life can feel very unfair at times. There are so many people who think a great deal about you and I just hope that this gives you some comfort. My sister started on metformin recently and has had no side effects so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you won’t either. Sending you a virtual hug. Xx
• in reply toAnon2023
Hello
People are really kind on here including yourself
I never seem to have any luck even though thank you for sharing that your Sister is doing fine on it , I think I get so negative I always think that won't be me though but hopefully I will be ok taking it
How are you keeping ?
Well I hope
Thank you so much for reassuring me and replying to me to x
Anon2023• in reply to
hi. I’m doing ok although I have good and bad days where I drive myself mad worrying about things. Sometimes it feels as if as soon as you overcome one thing there’s something else to face. I think the one thing we all have in common on this forum though is that we are survivors and even if we have the occasional wobble we battle on. You will get through this, like everything else that you have faced, but just take it one day at a time. You are stronger than you think. Xxx
• in reply toAnon2023
Hello
I am glad you have some good days as well as I know only to well we have these bad days to cope with but yes somehow you are right we are survivors and with the support from each other makes it easier to keep going
Hope you have a good day today x
Sniggetts• in reply to
Sending you love and healing hugs , hang on in there , I know it seems like the worst thing ever , but you will be fine. Just takes time to adjust .
Both my parents , my sister & brother are type 2 diabetics so I know it’s heading my way at some point . They are all doing well once settled on medication. The upside of metformin was it did help them all with a bit of weight loss , if metformin isn’t great for you once you’ve given it a go then there are other options.
Please take care and thank you for all your lovely words & support on this forum . 😊
• in reply toSniggetts
Hello
I am glad they have all settled on their medication and I have heard it can lose you weight which would be a binus as well as I read somewhere some it makes look younger it would have t be a miracle drug though to do that to me
You never know it could miss you and you could be the one in the family that does not get it I do hope so
Thank you so much for your supportive reply and kind words x
