[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4803652, member: 24302"] Apparently you didn't catch I went to Mexico INSTEAD of pursuing disability. Last time I went to a doctor she poked at my feet with a pen. I couldn't feel it. If I eat too many carbs I get pain in my feet like something with sharp claws is grabbing them. But I don't have insurance, and need it to go to a doctor long enough to get documentation and even then it can take a year or longer to get approved for disability if I do at all. So many people have diabetes now that you pretty much have to be severely impacted by it to get approved, or develop other conditions along with it. For example heart disease caused by the diabetes. Right now I appear to have also developed gastroparesis in my stomach muscles. That's diabetic peripheral neuropathy now affecting my stomach as it does my feet. Keeps my stomach from moving food into my intestines properly. I end up pooping about every three days. Things are falling apart and at this point just want to get some savings together to pay off our house. The way I see it if Penny Marshall can die at 75 from diabetes in spite of all her wealth then it's highly doubtful I'm going to make it to 80 and might not make it to 70. That's less than 11 years on the short end to accomplish what I can. [/QUOTE]
