Well, after one week's reflection and some serious delving into Outlook Express I've decided to come back. I know now not to share all the details I had been, and I found a clever way to use OE to my advantage. So, for all my friends here, I thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I had a loss this week (Yay!) and am on track to my goal. Today is the first day at my new job as a church bookkeeper. Wish me luck! - Dewolla 268/187/175 >Well, after one week's reflection and some serious delving into Outlook >Express I've decided to come back.

She became all upset and said that she does not take advice from self appointed usenet doctors. Is this rational behavior? No it is not rational behavior. The rational behavior would be to check whether the advice makes sense or not. Accidentally, yes, blood sugar testing is important. http://familydoctor.org/x6528.xml `` Every person with diabetes should have a blood glucose monitor and know how to use it.'' The article then goes on how and when to test, why etc. I am not going to tell her what medications to take etc -- there are doctors for that -- but frequent testing of blood sugar and glycemic control is the basic strategy to maintain good health. This way she'd know if her medications and diet are working. Or know when they stop working, as diabetes is a progressive disease after some point and requires adjustments in treatment. If you post how you eat in a diet newsgroup, you might as well expect someone to say their opinion about it. I frankly do not think that Dewolla has any sort of legitimate gripe here, she posted how she eats, she received a helpful suggestion that was very pertinent to her health, etc. She is not a victim here by any stretch of the imagination. i > >> I knew you would be back. > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > No it is not rational behavior.

Is repeatedly badgering the hell out of someone to the point that you've so completely pissed them off and made them find you an extreme annoyance rational? > I frankly do not think that Dewolla has any sort of legitimate gripe > here, she posted how she eats, she received a helpful suggestion that > was very pertinent to her health, etc. She is not a victim here by any > stretch of the imagination. > > i You were extremely obnoxious in your persistence that you knew what was best for her. Rather than treating her like an adult receiving competent medical care and backing off when she wasn't receptive to your ideas, you just couldn't give it a rest and made things extremely unpleasant. All that matters to you is that you are right and she is wrong...period (in your own perception). Not everyone is an emotionally stunted robot you know. Jenn >She became all upset and said that she does not take advice from self >appointed usenet doctors. > >Is this rational behavior? Yes, totally! We are here to support one another, I think, not to dictate to one another, and advice that goes against what she was being told by her own doctors is at best, silly, at worst, dangerous. We do not know nearly everything about our fellow-posters, only what they choose to tell us. Moreover, what works for one might be totally dangerous for another!

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > choose to tell us. Moreover, what works for one might be totally > dangerous for another! Blood sugar testing is not dangerous to anyone. It may or may not be necessary, but it is not dangerous, unless you beat someone with it. I was not the only person who suggested getting a glucose monitor. She was told the same thing on the diabetes forum, by the way. i > >>She became all upset and said that she does not take advice from self > >>appointed usenet doctors. [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > i The problem wasn't with the advice, it was the fact that you continued to beat her over the head with it after she acknowledged receiving the advice because you couldn't accept that she chose to disagree with you about what *she* wanted to do in *her* situation. Jenn Jenn, let me just wade back in here to say something. First, thanks for your (and everyone else's) support and understanding. It means a lot. Second, in response to Ig: Your blanket generalities do not work. If you recall, more than once I have stated I am on blood thinners. That means that my blood does not clot normally. That makes me a chemical-induced hemophiliac. I am under doctor's orders to avoid anything which may cause bruising or cuts. I cannot shave my legs or underarms. I have to adjust my medications even when I go to the dentist for a checkup or a cleaning. When you say "Blood sugar testing is not dangerous to anyone" you don't know what you are talking about. For me, it is dangerous. Until you have ALL of my medical history you are in NO position to insist that your advice to me is valid. You don't know the first thing about me. Try to keep that in mind the next time you try to argue or scare others into following your prescriptions. - Dewolla > > >>She became all upset and said that she does not take advice from self > > >>appointed usenet doctors.

Did the word "support" in the name of this NG escape your notice? I guess it did. I give up, Ig -- I've tried very hard to see your good side, but it's been eclipsed by your need to be right and get the last word about everything.

It's easy to do and just announce you've done it and people will make an effort not to quote his more assinine moments when responding to him. (I'm assuming you have him kill-filed so I spared you quoting his snide remark.) Dally Glad to see you back, Dewolla. I'm glad to see you've been able to take advantage of the filters in OE.

I think it's appropriate to take a break from newsgroups sometimes when they are more frustrating than helpful, but I also think they are, in the end, more useful than awful. :-) Welcome back.

You've probably already answered this, but I missed it - why are there "no pets allowed"? I'm glad to see you back!!! I KNOW how hard it is to be here and to voice the way you feel. I am seldom posting because I also learned the HARD WAY ! I draw strength from you, Dewolla:) I wish you the best with the new job. glo Hey Dewolla... even though I don't post much here anymore, I always enjoyed reading about your weekly success. I am glad that you didn't leave for good! Good luck at your new job! > Well, after one week's reflection and some serious delving into Outlook > Express I've decided to come back.
