[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 140622, member: 1697"] Heather, I agree. Which is part of what I told GP at the start of that visit. Seems he was just bound and determined to decide whatever-----yes, I do have belly fat, to go with stick thin arms legs and bottom.....and he seems to have decided I just right off had all the "metabolic syndrome" stuff before we even began any discussion. I am not sure what the values were for fasting blood sugar, or triglycerides etc.....or any of my labs...but I am quite disturbed. I know the elevated c reactive related to RA is a problem, too..... Ah well, today I did go out to book store, got a few different books on better healthier eating/cooking.- altho by dinner I had not yet read enough to think of anything other than a plain baked 3 ounce peice of plain salmon and some steamed broccoli and steamed asparagus, drizzled in fresh lemon. The family balked, too bad. They all certainly can only benefit from eating that way, too. LOL. Maybe by tomorrow, I will come up with something else, LOL. I am TRYING to view it as a big adventure, now. BUT I am still quite hurt and angry and upset about how the darned GP and his office people handled things. And yeah, I am miffed at rheumy now, too for not checking blood sugar all this time. I think when I see him in 2 weeks, we are gonna rexamine the medications more, better. we have been trying to decrease pred, and I think I am wanting him to dump the mtx. Sadly even a small decrease in the pred brings back the rheumatic symptoms hard and fast. I already ditched the ibuprofen.and gonna discuss the Humira. There HAS to be some kind of balance here. Either way, better eating habits are a good idea. [/QUOTE]
