My hubby, westendg, suffers from extreme anxiety disorder and depression, takes megadoses of antidepressants.
He also has Type 2 diabetes, high cholestral and high blood pressure. He's working on losing weight so hopefully some of that will get better. |

Just diagnosed with type II diabetes last week. Still trying to figure out what I can eat or drink for the rest of my life.....
Very minor, though, compared to some of the stuff others have posted. (ETA - I'm not overweight. either, but was two years ago, and that was when I probably contracted it) |

+1 Type 2 diabetic for the last 2 years.
Turned 40 in 2000 and the warranty ran out. Came down with severe pancreatitis. Surgeons had to remove half my pancreas which means I don't produce enough insulin. Diagnosed with diabetes in 2002. Controlled by diet, excercise and medication. |

Acute Intermittent Porphyria.
Thankfully, a pretty mild case that I control by diet, but attacks are absolutely no fun, and have gotten more painful as I get older. |

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Type 1 diabetes occurs because the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas are destroyed by the body's own immune system. Normally, the body's immune system fights off foreign invaders like viruses or bacteria. But for unknown reasons, in people with type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks various cells in the body. This results in a complete deficiency of the insulin hormone. Doctors don't know all the factors that lead to type 1 diabetes, but have identified the fact that an environmental trigger plays a role in causing the disease. Type 1 diabetes appears to occur when something in the environment - a toxin or a virus - triggers the immune system to mistakenly attack the pancreas and destroy the beta cells of the pancreas to the point where they can no longer produce sufficient insulin. Markers of this destruction -called autoantibodies- can be seen in most people with type 1 diabetes. It's got nothing to do with weight or lifestyle. So shut your piehole when you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. |

No I'm not. Thank God.
I wish I could say the same for my mother. This past July, she had a stroke and has lost much of the use of her left arm. When she was admitted, she found out that she is also a diabetic and has breast cancer that has now spread to her bones. She had a masdectome (spelling?) that removed her right breast. As soon as her incisions heal completely, she will begin chemotherapy to treat the cancer in her bones. She is only 54. Man, I am beginning to wonder if my own mom will be around in 10 yrs.  Edited for typographical errors. |

hypertension, controlled by daily meds. Also anxiety & depression, (daily meds for this also)
Funny thing though, since being laid off, instead of being upset about losing my job, I'm more calm and controlled. Things don't upset me anymore like they used to. Must of been "workplace related." Guess it was time for a change.(Actually, I'm working harder than when I was "working." I'm going down to my Dad's farm to help cleanup after the storms this weekend.) Considering the alternative, I'm truely blessed.  Hessian-1 hanging in there!

I posted the above before I read how many of my fellow ARFCOMers are suffering.
I am truly sorry for the grief you must endure. I will say a prayer for all of you tonight.
I buddy of mine was diagnosed with Crohns disease. He's had two or three surgeries and takes a lot of meds. He also has to have his blood checked every two or three months. But he says that's nothing compared to the agonizing spells he would have before the doctors got it under control. He can eat anything he wants now. So hang in there!  -YJ |
