Daily routine

Today has been the best day I have had in the last three months. I have had no major pains anywhere in my body and I have felt free to go outside and face the world. Even took the family for a little car trip around to see the country side and enjoy the day together. I am not saying I was pain free by any means of the word lol only that I had no major pain and was able to function all day.

I thought today I would share with everyone something that others may feel is personal information, but I think if I am going to commit my journey to everyone on here they need to know the whole journey. So today we are going to discuss medications, not just what type I take but the dosage clear down to the sliding scale insulin.

So here we go I am going to break this down by time of day also.

06:30
1 Metformin 500 MG – for the diabetes
1 Lisinopril 40MG – for high Blood Pressure due to the Diabetes in my system
1 Lasix 40 MG – for the water retention due to the Diabetes in my system
1 HCTZ 25 MG – also for High Blood Pressure due to Diabetes in my system
2 Neurontin 300 MG – This is for my Neuropathy
95 units Humulin - Insulin
30 units Lantus – Insulin
Humalog – Insulin Slider Scale based on blood Glucose level at that time. (Will include slider scale at bottom of post.)

08:45
2 Ranitidine 150 MG – Antacid tablets

17:00
1 Metformin 500 MG – for the diabetes
2 Neurontin 300 MG – This is for my Neuropathy

As needed meds through the day for the pain of Neuropathy
1 Darvocet 100-650 Pink TB – Pain relief (rofl does nothing)
1 Flexeril 10 MG – Muscle relaxer (it relaxes the muscles called my eye lids and I sleep for hours after taking it).

201-250 = 24 units
251-300 = 28 units
301-350 = 32 units
351-400 = 36 units
400 and above = Call Doctor (and say a prayer)
