I went to the urgent care center (sort of like a cross between a dr. and an ER but much less expensive than the ER) and they are running some tests, blood work, urology, the works. However this may be coming back on me and my dietary habits. The numbness may be the onset of a caffeine allergy, which is not good as I have caffeine addiction (I won't share how many sodas I have a day, it's WAY too many.) but also this may...and I stress only may, be the onset of diabetes. Will know more in a few days. Also the tired. blacking out, is basically my body being completely dehydrated because I don't drink anything but sodas.
These are things I can change but it may not completely change the damage already done, if it is diabetes. But I have to work to be better about drinking sodas, or none at all. Really difficult but compared to some of the things in this thread very small potatoes. I can do it.
I'll keep you all updated on the official results though.
Hopefully, it is not diabetes. As for dehydration, I have been there. Years ago, I was in the hospital for 3 days with severe dehydration and a kidney infection. After that, I learned to drink more water and not so much soda. It is really hard to kick a soda habit.
charlotteprice- that is a lot to deal with! Wish you didn't have to deal it all of that but so glad to see that you're trekking along. :)
