diabetes

Avatar m tn Is your doctor in NZ? If so, ask him/her. In the USA diabetes medication has to be prescribed not sold over the counter.
Avatar f tn Just thought I would let you all know for future reference if there are any sufferers in NZ, that I saw Dr Andrew Law yesterday, and found him to be excellent in every way. He has a good understanding of Chiari, Syrinx, Spina Bifida, amongst other things and was very helpful to me. He's very experienced (I did some homework!) and a really down to earth guy who takes a patient seriously.
Avatar m tn Over the last 3-4 weeks I have developed slight persistant numbness/weakness in my left pinky and half of my left ring finger nearest the pinky, this is constant and also sporadic numbness/weakness in my feet (usually the top of the foot) and right hand during sleep. This tends to wake up, I can then 'shake out' this numbness/weakness and go back to sleep but not after lying there for a while wondering what is going on. I have been on a round the world trip for the last 9 months.
5727805 tn?1378193052 Or do you see the doctor? She is An Australian permanent resident. Here in NZ is it simple, you just contact a midwife and go from there. Is it that simple in Australia?
648439 tn?1225058862 I was shocked but I thought that perhaps in NZ is is not offered in treatment probably because of cost. I am talking govt funded treatment, not private. Does any NZ-er know anything about this - anyone being treated with Procrit or similar here.
Avatar f tn I convinced mysekf i had hiv. I unfortunateky got drunk and had sex unprotected with a prostitute in NZ. I was so scared broke down etc etc.6 weeks after the event i had a negative test. My worry or anxiety is treated with Loxami.e. however the power of the net is scarey. I have a crawling like feeling in my ear and of course search out hearibg liss and hiv. I eventually convinced myself i have nerve issues due to low immune system.
Avatar f tn I'm from NZ but not in Auckland. .
Avatar m tn 5yrs ago I was treated successfully with lepton for hepC this May I found lumps coming from salivary ducts below incisors and then candida infection in whole of mouth. no candida treatment worked and swab came back negative, I'm waiting for 4 months for a referral for specialist in NZ. in the meantime I have been on flucloxicillin for infection and the thrush has not gone away since I finished antibiotics.my saliva is thick at night but it changes during the day.
Avatar n tn over the past year or two for help/support groups in NZ, but have found nothing. The only one that I did find had links back to the USA, helpful, but I had seen it all before and was after something a bit closer to home :) I have today, just started up a new facebook group (closed) for NZ Chiari people in the hopes that someone from NZ (other than me) would join lol.
648439 tn?1225058862 I treated with 1200 Riba daily and 180 mg interferon weekly with Pegasus. I was cured with this short treatment. I live in NZ and the doctors here allow patients to stop if they fulfill the strictest criteria for stopping early. It worked for me, so good luck to those of you who are considering the same option.
Avatar n tn Yes, these are all symptoms of type I diabetes in children. My child was wetting the bed, extremely thirsty all the time and was vomiting; his vomiting, we think, was contributed to a stomach virus he had at the time. We took him to the ER due to dehydration -they did a blood chemistry and his blood sugar was 399-they immediately admitted him to ICU and he was put on IV insulin. He's been a diabetic now for 3 years-he's now 9. He's has handled it amazingly well!
4536442 tn?1358820448 I'm from NZ :) But i'm living in Perth atm. Miss the place so so much!! Im due in 5days time. looking forward to bringing my girl back there in may!
Avatar f tn I'm almost 7 weeks and I've wondered if my symptoms are too light. I'm starting to feel sick every day and I'm peeing a ton!
Avatar f tn this may be signs of endometriosis, As many as 1 in 5 woman in nz have it without knowing. It can vary in from mild (no symptoms) to severe. def go to docter to check it out.
Avatar f tn Hi Robyn...PM (private message) a member clintsmum....she is in NZ and is a big advocate for chiari awareness. She is not real active on the forum, but does keep in contact if u send her a message.
Avatar f tn t give you much information. You need to know if it is in the normal, pre-diabetes or diabetes range. Also fasting glucose is not the test of choice anymore for diabetes, but the A1C is, and that takes the average of blood sugars for 2-3 months, not just one point in time like a fasting glucose. I encourage you to find out you fasting results and to get an A1C and find that out as well. Never accept a doctor saying it was "fine".
Avatar n tn I have recently been feeling very ill, suffering from bouts of dizziness, headaches and nausea. There is a large case of diabetes in my family. My dad and aunties and uncles all have diabetes. Could this be a sign that I may have it also with the symptoms I have been getting?
Avatar f tn ok dose this sound like diabetes or do i just have like every std in the book and them some other problems? ok so these are the symtoms of diabetes ive had more than a few times but not all on a regular basis.
Avatar n tn I am wondering....for several years I've have had all these crazy symptoms that have come and gone. The past couple of weeks has been the worst though. I frequently get dizzy spells (and I've actually passed out a couple times within the last few years), and I feel drained of energy all the time. I seem to get disoriented alot too, along with some fuzzy vision. And lately, I have had the "fruity breath" that goes along with diabetes.
Avatar m tn He lives on the Gold Coast, Australia, Im in NZ and want to know what to suggest. He will try get a doctors apt but its kinda urgent and being a new NZ person working in Aust, it may cost him hundreds of $ to even see a doctor…can he get a treatment over the counter in Aust?
Avatar n tn Hi... I had a protected sex with a girl in Massage Parlour in NZ. Here in NZ, parlours offer safe sex. So we have protected varginal sex for about 5 min. There was no kissing at all with the girl. Then I left the place. After that I have been fearing to get some STD's like HIV, Chlamydia etc from that single encounter. Please help me regarding this. . . . I am quite worried these days . . .
Avatar f tn I have type 2 diabetes and have for 11 yrs, I thought I had diabetes for a while before I was actually diagnosed and not knowing enough, did not press my doctors reasoning for not thinking my higher blood sugar readings were not significant enough. He did not do a Hemoglobin A1c test. Just a blood glucose which was showing high blood sugar readings for some time,and he for whatever reason didnt think it signficant enough.
