Medical Updates

I am not a doctor, these updates are based on: my labs, what doctors have said to me, and how I actually feel.

January 1, 2024

I will post my medical updates on this page, as updates come about. I really don't want to update, I'm in pain and tired, everyday.

ALL  my doctors told me that if I lose weight, I would feel better. I'm calling their bluff. My highest weight was 204# and today it is 164#. That is 40#, and I don't feel better!

When I was diagnosed with diabetes, December 2019, my A1C was:

December 2019 10.9%

December 2020  6.5%

February 2022    6.6%

October 2023      5.3% ---- a "normal" result

Here are today's vitals --- 8PM

BP = 111/74          HR = 109          O2 = 94%          Glucose = 124

As of today, I can't even list every diagnosis. So let's try:



I am sure somethings are missing LOL


High of 204#

1/1/24  is 164#

Platelets - it has been many years since I had a normal platelets number. I have seen 3 hematologists. No answers. The only thing that my doctor agree on - I have medical issues. Half the doctors want my spleen removed, as it is enlarged and the thought is, the spleen is destroying, or filtering the platelets. Unfortunately, my platelets are to low to fix the issue. We even did a two unit infusion and it didn't bring it up. 

Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, and red blood cells are all low. I take folic acid and Iron pills. At this point I have given up on the doctors.
