[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 145677, member: 1991"] You sound like you're doing really well, I'm so pleased for you. Glad you enjoyed the fish parcel - next time, try it with chicken. I get chicken thigh fillets, marinate it in teriyaki (with a splash of sesame and garlic this time, as well as the ginger) then I pan-fry it in a non-stick pan (no need to add any more oil). The sugars in the mirin (or sherry) tend to caramelise and the chicken can go almost black where this happens. I often take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside on a plate, then I make a thick sauce of the marinade/cooking juices, then put the chicken pieces back in to coat them. After that, the chicken gets sliced thinly and used in burrito salad wraps. You can use slivers of fresh ginger in the burritos also. Leftover chicken goes in the fridge. When hungry I take out half a thigh fillet, slice it thinly, microwave it to warm it, then make burritos again - any time. The kids love these, I have to stop them eating the chicken on its own and being responsible, eating it with salad and burrito instead. Your BiPolar (BP) - normal upper limit is 140 over 90 (or it used to be when I was studying). But you sound like your normal is on the low side, 110 over 65 is my usual. So when it goes up to 140 over 90, I worry even though the doctor says it's OK. Not OK for me, buddy! Your GP sounds like a nut. Or it could be that files are consistently getting mixed up. Personally, I would go in to see them in reception with a copy of your test results (when they arrive), talk to them about what they said over the phone and ask how often they make assumptions like that; could they have been ringing you, but with some other patient's file? They gave you wrong information, by the sound of it, which aside from being upsetting (with what they said) could have led you to make changes in your medications or other aspects of your care, which were potentially harmful. If they had someone else's file it could well have been that they thought they were talking to a patient who IS someone who drinks when they shouldn't. Can you switch to one of the other docs in that practice that you were seeing? Or are you just fed up with them and want to move on? If you move on, find someone you are comfortable with and then ask for your records to be sent over (or at least some medical summary). To find a good doctor, sometimes asking the local pharmacist can be a good start. Ask friends, neighbours. If your prednisone is still needed then hey, it's still needed. Is there any other way to deal with the pain and inflammation? if not, then you may have to just stay on that level for a while longer. It's funny - when I was on prednisone, it seemed to make my pain worse. I see my neurologist tomorrow and the GP day after that. My weight is coming off faster now, about half a kilo a day. I actually ate more yesterday and so far today, I also did a lot of reading online to get a better understanding. According to Mayo Clinic paperwork, there is NO correlation between fatty liver and eating a fatty diet! I feel vindicated! But there IS a correlation between being overweight/obese and insulin resistance. Losing the weight should mobilise the fat from my liver and hopefully also lower insulin resistance. I won't know until more blood tests are done, in a few months' time. I hate being made to feel guilty for my medical condition, but if I deserve it then fair enough. But not if I don't. Marg [/QUOTE]
