Hi guys I'm back. I was in nova scotia to see my family for 2.5 weeks. then my sister returned with me for a 1 week stay. She paid for us to go and see my kids and grandchildren. My new grandaughter is 2 months and is starting to coo and laugh. It was great. now my sister has left and I'm having panic attacks. my husband is getting better since he was taken off the lyrica and aspirin. He still spends a lot of time in bed and can get very weak. Someone told me that after a struggle with the near death and caretaking for 7 months now that things are improving its ok to have a nervous breakdown. I just get a terrible fear of what I don't know. My husbands numbers are ranging from 13 to22 since he took himself off all drugs after his hypoglycemic incident when it was at 1.4 when I found him. He is supposed to wean himself back on the drugs monthly reintroduce if the previous one was ok with his sytem. He won't take his night insulin because of fear. He still takes insulin with his meals but eats once a night and gorges, I'm going to try and get an appointment with his endo but it usually takes a month or more.
The man I fell in love with is in there and I got to see him when he was doing as they said with eating and meds. But after the med reaction so severe that he could not roll over in bed I don't blame him for not wanting to take anythung. Sorry but I guess I just need to vent. Please pray for Bryce and myself Judy.  Thanks

What a terrible ordeal to go through.  I will be praying for both of you.   I use to have really bad panic attacks but they have almost stopped now. I know how hard it is for you. Bryce has had a really bad time and will have to come back slowly.
Prayers and blessings
Bar

My prayers go out to you and Bryce Judy. It is very hard to watch someone you love suffer because of illness. Chuck has Congestive Hear Failure, and I too are starting to have panic attacks. My main fear is if he has breathing problems I can,t get to him because he sleeps in another room and me being disabled I can,t get to him. Oh I know I can call 911, but I can,t even unlock the door for them because I can,t get out of bed by myself.
 So yes I will diffently keep the both of you in my prayers. Take Care and let the Lord be with you both

My heart goes out to you. I will be praying for you and your husband. I do know a lot about panic attacks. I spent many years going to a therapist.  My panic attacks, turned into full blown agoraphobia, after my father suddenly passed away...But i am here to tell you....I am almost panic free now for about 6 years. If anyone would like to talk w/ me about this...i would be more than happy to share my experiences...there is HOPE....and YOU can make sure that your panic attacks don't progress into full blown agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is a fear of the market place...I wouldn't even leave my house alone. I stopped driving and working. Ok, this is not about me..it's about Judy and her husband. Just thought that I might have the chance to share w/ anyone suffering from panic disorder.  Lisa

Thanks for the prayers. I hope it gets better soon. This is also the time of year that my dad was told he was terminal 2 years ago so it may also be part of it. I walked for 45 minutes with my husband today. he was very tired so I got him some orange juice which helped. He goty food poisoning last night. we had those tiny noodle packs and he said they don't go bad he was so sick. but later able to go out a bit.
We are still trying to see if the aspirin or the plavix was what disabled him. he is trying bayer aspirin and it seems to not be so good. dizzy and stomach pains. he wants to try a few more days. I hope the dr is able to get him back on metformin and solve our night time delema for insulin. it is hard when the family has severe drug reactions. I guess I'm also concerned about his health because it is out of my control.
 
Longisland lisa. Did anything specific help the panic attacks.

My husband  started back on the nph 2 days before he saw the endo.She has him increasing his nph 2 units up to 10 for 2 weeks then increase by 1 unit a week until he gets his bc below 10. His 3 month was 12 but fasting was 20. His cholesterol is up so she said try the plavix again. The aspirin gave him the stomach pain again so that is out for sure. He has taken the Plavix 2 days first day stomach was bad but not too bad today. Now if I can justy stop his gorging on food.
My panic attacks are gone now since I went off the sleeping pills from the fibromyalgia specialist. Never want that to happen again. yuck.
Things are definately looking up with him taking the nighttime insulin. He used to take 25 units but then he went low (1.4 when I found him)he only needed 8. Nobody could tell us why. Now he's out of control because he got so afraid it would happen again that he stopped it at night.. Well its trial and error now. He says he's dizzy when he wakes up now. Don't know what that is about.  Thanks for all the support. You guys are great.
