I think you need to change your Dr. Anyone in their right mind would not let you continue on a BCP that gives you low potassium. Don't understand why he does not switch you to another BCP label?!?!?!?

And you STILL need an insulin resistance test!!!!!!!!! 4 months are enough to seek another Dr. but it's up to you if you want to keep dealing with the side effects.

I had a physician before that let me keep taking low-dose prednisone before, which i got horrible side effects from, even though she said that from such a low-dose there could not be any side effects. Well, i've been dealing with muscle problems for a year ever since..........

oh well and when i get over that i have to chance to a diffrent diet...


i have no clue if i will ever get that under control... it takes soo long and i donīt have a real good doctor but i am not chancing doctors right now because in 4 month i am gone anyway and have to find a diffrent one!!!!

grrr hate it since i actually got diagnosed my live is like a rollercoaster..
