Not a drug reaction, but I had a rather dreadful experience with Mayo, where I reported severe digestive problems which had led to me losing a great amount of weight over a few months while being constantly in pain (175 to 118, I’m 5’10”). They did some esophagus tests, they looked okay and Mayo wrote it off as “health anxiety”. It turns out I was actually developing a form of adult onset type 1 diabetes (LADA).

- code_duck 4y agoI have no idea what it was when I was at Mayo, but later on, yes. I went into diabetic ketoacidosis and had 650 glucose at the ER, with an HbA1c that indicated an average of 300 for the preceding 3 months.
